The purpose of the High School Internship Program is to provide students in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, who have an expressed interest in the profession of law, with an opportunity to work in a law firm, corporate legal department, or government agency as part of an eight-week paid internship to further enable them to decide whether they would like to pursue a career in the legal profession.
Students who have (1) completed their sophomore year of high school in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District; (2) maintained a minimum 3.5 grade point average; (3) attained 90% attendance; and (4) participated in either the 3Rs Program or their high school’s respective mock trial program are eligible to participate in the High School Internship Program.
