INTERNS |
|
Every year the Citizen Advocacy Center accepts several law, college, and high school students for the internship program. During the summer, CAC hires the most number of law interns. Our interns work to investigate and analyze reports of what appear to be violations of the law, undemocratic public policies, and obstacles to civic participation should apply.
