LAW AND CRIMINOLOGY INTERNSHIP

Ideal for political science, law and other majors interested in a close-up view of the criminal justice and legislative processes.

Reasons Why Law Students Do and Would Enjoy Working as Volunteer Interns at NCMDR / Women's History Research Center

What it involves:

- Examining how laws vary from state to state and how different states’ laws interpret the same act.

- An active role in the justice process, by aiding DAs and by monitoring arrests, convictions, etc.

- Following current legislation and aiding people in legislative work (by doing research, clarifying details, providing referrals to people in other states or on their own, etc.)

- Tracking cases nationwide -- a process which offers access to many people, including prosecutors, police officers, and shelter workers who have an in-depth view of the criminal justice process.

- Monitor date rape cases occurring on college campuses including campus hearings.

- Potential contacts for future employment.

- Dedicated and supportive fellow workers.

The National Clearinghouse on Marital and Date Rape, a project of the former Women’s History Research Center, is an organization of consultants, researchers, speakers, and resources for legal and medical advocates, writers, the media, students, and concerned campus and community people.
