Students will work closely with the Capital Habeas paralegal team and experience a variety of cases and projects.

Interns will also develop professional skills and perform general office duties such as copying and scanning documents. In addition, students will have opportunities to interact with attorneys, investigators, and other FDP staff, and attend court proceedings.
