Laurel Legal Services

Certified Legal Intern

• I spent my 1L summer observing the staff attorneys at Laurel Legal Services (LLS) assist low-income clients with various civil legal needs. • I primarily spent my 1L summer observing family law cases and had the opportunity to attend various types of hearings, negotiations, mediations, trials, etc. in Protection From Abuse and child custody cases. I also spend time learning how to respond to intake applications based on client needs and attorney availability, and how to provide brief service when appropriate. • I returned to LLS my 2L summer as a Certified Legal Intern. I immediately began performing legal work under the supervision of my managing attorney, ranging from conducting client intake meetings, negotiating PFA cases with pro-se defendants and opposing counsel, and conducting PFA hearings before the Judges. I additionally began taking brief service cases and providing phone advice with attorney supervision. • I am continuing to work at LLS through my 3L year as an extern while I complete my law degree. In addition to regularly attending PFA and custody court appointments, this fall I also wrote and filed an answer to Preliminary Objections, as well as worked on a brief to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania regarding a landlord/tenant issue.
