Course Description
The Civil and Criminal Internship Placement is a one-semester field assignment for three (3) credits. (NOTE: Students must complete a minimum of 120 hours at placement; 10 to 11 hours for at least twelve weeks). An internship placement provides students with an opportunity to explore legally-related career interests while applying knowledge and skills learned in the classroom to “real life” situations, working with clients under the supervision of an experienced attorney. Interns are responsible for finding a site, securing a placement, and making all necessary arrangements. Students should make it clear that this internship is for college credit and should provide acquaintance with a variety of legally-related tasks and activities. Though several placements may be contacted, interns are required to work with only one placement during the course. It is recommended that any student interested in enrolling in this course, in the semester prior to enrollment (fall), meet with the instructor (Sr. Associate Dean Michelle Mason, masonm@fiu.edu) to discuss the range of placements that may be available.
