Internships with Student Legal Services are available on both a volunteer and for-credit basis. Students seeking to intern as a volunteer must commit to a minimum of three office hours per week. Students seeking an internship for credit can do so as part of the Criminal Justice or Political Science departments, and must complete a minimum of seven office hours per week, and 1 committee hour per week in addition to coursework in accordance with the requisite credit internship program. Credit internships, contingent upon an offer, must be approved by both your advisor and the department you seek the internship from.
To Apply
Our application process is now facilitated through Qualtrics online. The online application can be found here: Online Internship Application
You will be required to upload a resume and a cover letter in addition to signing and uploading the internship policies. ASWSU Student Legal Services will take internship applications on a rolling basis. Contingent on vacancies throughout the semester, prospective applicants will be contacted to schedule an interview.
A competitive applicant will have a well-crafted resume and cover letter, as well as demonstrate leadership qualities and campus involvement. Questions about what constitutes a professional resume and cover letter, as well as how to ensure your application is reflective of these requirements, can be addressed at the Undergraduate Writing Center located in CUE 303. Students will have the opportunity to apply every semester, depending on vacant spots in the office.
If you have difficulty using Qualtrics you can also email an internship application to us at sls@wsu.edu. Make sure to include the internship application, internship policies, cover letter, and resume.
