Post Graduate Judicial Internships Available

If you are not currently employed, we suggest that while you are searching for a job, you consider completing a Post Graduate Judicial Internship or other volunteer internship.

The Third Judicial Circuit, which is comprised of seven counties (Columbia, Suwannee, Madison, Hamilton, Dixie, Lafayette and Taylor), is currently seeking individuals who are willing to serve as judicial interns. Judicial interns work under the direct supervision of the general magistrate and the staff attorneys and assist the judiciary with research and drafting of legal memoranda and proposed orders. The majority of the work involves post conviction relief motions in criminal cases, but interns may be asked to help with other types of legal issues, including family law matters, small claims and complex civil litigation cases. This is an ideal position for someone with excellent analytical and writing skills; who is seeking to gain working knowledge of the court system, as well as enhance his or her resume.In past years, graduates who completed Post Graduate Internships sometimes obtained permanent positions within the judicial system based upon the work they performed as interns. Our experience has also been that firms look very favorably on candidates who have this experience.
