Abstract

This past semester, I participated in an internship with the Court Service Center at the Lawrence location. I attended in-person, two days a week, beginning in January. My internship primarily involved me helping litigants who do not have access to an attorney with filling out court documents. Additionally, I often provided court users with general legal information as well as pointed them towards community and legal resources that may be of benefit to them. I even got to experience sitting in on both civil and criminal hearings, allowing me to gain an understanding of these types of court proceedings. This internship allotted me the opportunity to learn about the court system, while greatly improving my communication and writing skills.
