"Our Mission is to bring justice and safety to our community by aggressively and fairly prosecuting crime and protecting the rights of crime victims."

If you are interested in supporting this vision of the District Attorney's Office and gaining valuable experience in the criminal justice field, the District Attorney's Office is seeking student interns and volunteers to apply. 

There are three opportunities to choose from. Please see application information and deadlines below. 

Victim/Witness Division This is a one-year, 12-hour per week internship commitment.
The San Luis Obispo County Victim Witness Assistance Center works to reduce the trauma, frustration and inconvenience experienced by victims, witnesses, and family members affected by crime. We do this by providing a wide variety of services to victims of crime and their families, in addition to supporting victims and witnesses throughout the criminal justice process. As part of our mission, we inform victims of their constitutional and statutory rights under California law, and how to exercise those rights.

Application Deadline for Victim/Witness Division:
Applications can be submitted year-round.
 
Law Students Law students who have completed at least one year of law school are eligible to apply for a volunteer law clerk position. This position provides the opportunity to work closely with prosecutors, assisting with research, writing motions, assisting with case preparation, special projects, and observing court.  A volunteer law clerk who is certified by the State Bar may handle cases in court under attorney supervision. Clerkships are normally over the summer prior to the 2L or 3L year, or during one semester of law school.  A volunteer law clerk must pass a background check. Applicants should include a resume and cover letter.

Application Deadlines for Law Students:
Summer Clerkship:  February 1st 
Fall Semester Clerkship:  May 1st 
Spring Semester Clerkship:  September 1st 

All applications will be reviewed after the related application deadline.

Non-law student intern/volunteer

Non-law students are able to apply for summer and extended volunteer internship programs. The primary duty of a non-law student intern/volunteer focuses on supporting attorneys and the administrative team with a variety of task or special projects.

In addition to potential school credit non-law student intern/volunteers will gain first-hand exposure to the inner workings and processes of the DA’s Office, courts, and the broader legal system. By working directly with attorneys and experienced professionals, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how justice is pursued and cases are managed.

If you are interested in applying for this opportunity, please submit your applications within these timeframes. In order to be considered cover letters and resumes must be attached.
