Internship Responsibilities
Internship
responsibilities vary by assignment. Possible assignments for rising sophomores,
juniors and seniors include the office’s Early Case Assessment Bureau (ECAB),
where arrest and desk appearance ticket (DAT) cases are screened and prepared
for prosecution and initial arraignment in Criminal Court. Students will be trained
to review police paperwork and draft accusatory instruments and other
prosecution documents. Interviews of police officers and civilian witnesses
might also be involved. Since ECAB, unlike other office bureaus, operates seven
days a week, from early morning through late evening, ECAB assignments may require
Saturday, Sunday or evening shifts.
Other possible
assignments for rising sophomores, juniors and seniors include the office’s
many investigative, trial and alternative program bureaus. Among other possible
responsibilities, students assigned to investigative and trial bureaus might be
asked to obtain updated information for pending investigations; schedule
witness interviews; obtain, review, and photocopy records; draft simple legal
documents; file documents in court; and provide general administrative support,
such as answering phones, filing, etc. Assignment to the office’s Appeals
Bureau is also possible for students with proven research and writing skills.
