Over the years student interns have come from the University of Rochester, Colgate University, Boston College, Nazareth College, SUNY Geneseo, and SUNY Brockport.  Interns have later gone on to attend law school at Albany, Syracuse, Boston University, Boston College, University of Pennsylvania and Columbia.

 

There are several reasons for spending a semester or year as an intern.  Students can gain law firm experience prior to law school to decide if a career in law is really what they desire.  Other students are seeking a favorable recommendation to add to their law school application.  And other students seek real work experience while getting college credit.

 

Most of the local universities will allow students to obtain college credit for working as an intern.  Usually the university requires a set minimum hours worked together with a paper written about the work experience or on a particular legal topic.  Wisner & Wisner, LLP, encourages students seeking college credit to send a resume together with their class schedule and let us know if there are other commitments, such as employment, that the student has.  The student should submit this information to the recruiting coordinator.  (See, hiring information)
