At the Bronx District Attorney's Office, we believe that the future of public service is built through meaningful opportunities to learn, lead, and serve. Our Summer Legal Internship Program is designed to help students move from pipeline to purpose transforming classroom knowledge into practical experience and inspiring the next generation of prosecutors, advocates, and public service leaders. Through mentorship, training, and hands-on learning opportunities, interns gain exposure to the realities of public service while building the professional skills, judgment, and leadership qualities necessary for a successful legal career.
The Bronx District Attorney's Office is committed to "Pursuing Justice with Integrity" while enhancing public safety and strengthening community trust. Serving more than 1.4 million residents, our Office offers law students the opportunity to engage in meaningful public service while learning from experienced prosecutors and legal professionals dedicated to advancing justice in the Bronx. The nine-week program will take place during the Summer of 2027, commencing on Tuesday, June 1st, and concluding on Friday, July 30th. Interns work full-time, in person, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Interns are assigned to a specific bureau within the Office. An Assistant District Attorney directly supervises them. Whether observing courtroom proceedings, assisting attorneys with legal research and writing, participating in simulations, or engaging with leaders across the Office, interns are encouraged to move from Pipeline to Purpose transforming their interest in the law into meaningful public service.
