Capital Area Paralegal Association Intern Program
The Capital Area Paralegal Association has designated a committee to facilitate the placement of paralegal studies students from local colleges and universities into law firms or corporations with legal departments in the Austin area.
Most of the students will be required to work an average of 15 hours per week for 10 weeks; however, it can be more or less per week as long as that is the average. CAPA asks that the company that agrees to an internship provide an environment in which the student is performing or observing legal work which might represent the type of work he or she would do as a paralegal.
Though a salary is not required, it is asked that the company pay the $25 membership fee for the student to join CAPA and any parking fees.
If you have further questions regarding the program, please feel free to call or e-mail Jim Barringer at 750-9292 or jim@barringerlegalcopies.com.
