The Harris County Attorney’s Office provides hand-on legal training through its internship program. Interns complete writing and research assignments in addition to training in the courtroom. Students make significant contributions to the office and develop their legal training and education. Twelve-week sessions are offered in the fall, spring and summer semesters.

The Summer Legal Academy is a two-week, full time legal training and educational program designed to expose high school students to the path to becoming an attorney. Participating students learn about the path to getting accepted to a law school, what to expect in law school classes, the different careers one can pursue with a law degree, and the various types of practices in which a lawyer can focus.
