Internships in the legal studies program provide outstanding
opportunities for students. With over 80 permanent internship sites
throughout the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area, a student may
work in law offices ranging from the largest Wall Street firms to
small local law offices, as well as state and federal courts and
governmental agencies. Many students are offered their first
full-time job through the internship experience. Employers of St.
John's student interns consistently praise their proficiency in the
legal profession and their ability to handle difficult
situations.
Students pursuing either the Bachelor of Science or the
Associate in Science degree in Legal Studies may choose to partake
in one or both of the internship opportunities (LES 1005 and 1006).
For baccalaureate students, the internship may be taken in either
the junior or senior year. Students in the associate degree program
may take an internship only after successful completion of 45
academic credits.
