The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office is looking for high school juniors to participate in its annual summer internship program. This five-week program is designed to expose high school students to careers in law, law enforcement and local government.
The summer internship program will be held from July 8 through August 9 for students completing their junior year by June 2013. Interns must be Essex County residents. During the internship, interns will be exposed to a comprehensive curriculum that includes: learning about the role and function of the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office; participating in New Jersey State Trooper Youth Week, a one-week residential program; observing a jury trial and participating in a mock trial; and learning about other governmental agencies. Interns will also participate in workshops on business etiquette and making positive choices.
