Paralegal Interns
WilmerHale's Paralegal Internship Program exposes interns to a variety of practice areas and business functions throughout the firm. Interns also participate in training to familiarize them with the firm's technology and resources.
The type and complexity of work varies; however, it includes document organization and management, trial preparation and deposition preparation work. All of the projects assigned will require strong organizational skills and attention to detail. Interns also provide support and assistance to certain administrative departments that are important to the development and advancement of lawyers in a law firm.
Interns are afforded an invaluable opportunity to meet informally with lawyers and legal professionals to ask questions and engage in meaningful conversations that can influence an intern's career decisions.
Our Boston Summer Paralegal Internship Program is open to exceptional rising college juniors and seniors who have an interest in becoming a lawyer.
To Apply
We welcome all those eligible for the internship program to submit a cover letter along with your resume by January 11, 2019.
