Internships
The Berks County District Attorney’s office offers an internship program for law students throughout the year. This paid internship is designed for first and second year law students. The program exposes interns to all aspects of the District Attorney's Office. Interns are assigned to work closely with Assistant District Attorneys and assist them in case preparation and prosecution.
Law students, who are second year interns and who are certified by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania will handle preliminary hearings, pretrial hearings, miscellaneous hearings and other matters under the supervision of an Assistant District Attorney. First year interns will handle research, writing, and observe trials, pretrials, and other matters. Both first and second year law students will have the opportunity to observe crime scenes, autopsies and anything else in the standard course of business for the District Attorney's Office.
