Internships

The Office of the Northwestern District Attorney, in partnership with the communities we serve, is dedicated to the pursuit of truth, justice, and the protection of the public through fair and effective prosecutions and progressive prevention initiatives.

We are pleased to offer summer and academic year internships in the following  areas:

• Legal
• Administrative, Communications, Outreach
• Victim/Witness Services
  

   

To qualify as a participant in legal internships, you must be a matriculating college or law school student.  We encourage Rule 3:03 eligible students to apply for a summer associate position in one of our district courts, which allows for courtroom participation.  

Law students selected to participate in the Northwestern District Attorney's Office Legal Internship Program assist prosecutors in the Juvenile, District, Superior, and Appellate courts.

First year law students gain experience in legal research, writing, and case preparation.

Students who have completed their second year of law school, who have been certified under SJC Rule 3:03, may represent the Commonwealth in Juvenile and District Court as a student prosecutor, supervised by an assistant district attorney. 

The Northwestern District Attorney's Office is strongly committed to diversity and supports the advancement of women and people of color. We believe the office should reflect the population it serves. People of color, disabled individuals, and members of the LGBTQ community are strongly encouraged to apply. 

Interested parties should send resumes with a cover letter to:
