Volunteer/Internships
GENERAL INTERNSHIPS
Legal internships are often available and are a great experience for law students and those considering law school. VLA will occasionally supervise attorneys needing to fulfill the clerkship requirements for the Vermont Bar.
Most general internships are un-paid, though VLA will occasionally be able to match work-study funds.
