Internship
Testimonials
"I
interned
with the
Trial
Court
Administrator's
Office
the
summer
after my
1L year
and
fully
enjoyed
the
experience.
While I
didn't
learn a
lot of
"law," I
learned
a great
deal
about
the
administration
of
justice
and the
services
available
in our
district
in order
to
assist
people
with
their
legal
issues.
I worked
directly
with the
TCA on a
couple
different
projects,
namely
Justice
Initiatives--a
non-profit
that
raises
seed
money to
support
innovative
court
programs.
The
internship
gave me
the
opportunity
to
network
with
multiple
judges
and
prominent
attorneys
in the
26th
judicial
district.
While I
wouldn't
want to
repeat a
year of
law
school,
I'd
repeat
my
summer
working
in the
TCA's
office."
--Jeffrey Goss, Charlotte School of Law Class of 2010
"Interning
with the
Trial
Court
Administrator’s
office
is an
incredibly
rewarding
experience.
I began
working
for Mr.
Nuccio
after
completing
my first
year and
will
continue
into the
fall
semester
of my 2L
year.
Over the
past
three
months I
have had
the
opportunity
to see
the
inner
workings
of the
Mecklenburg
County
Courthouse
from
“behind
the
scenes”.
This
unique
internship
has
taught
me about
the
administrative
aspects
of the
law that
I could
not have
received
in any
other
setting.
I also
worked
with
Justice
Initiatives,
Inc.(JI).
Assisting
with JI
exposed
me to an
array of
networking
opportunities
and gave
me a
true
sense of
how
members
of a
legal
community
can
change
the
effectiveness
of their
Court
system
for the
better.
Looking
back
over the
past
three
months,
I cannot
imagine
spending
my 1L
summer
any
other
way."
