ACADEMICS Student in Paralegal Studies with Questions Regarding Internship
Hi, I am a paralegal studies student that is working towards the AS degree for this career path, and now that the Summer 2026 semester is almost done, I only have the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 terms to complete before I am to graduate.
Because I am preparing to graduate, I have been thinking a lot about what the internship course may look like, and the more I thought about it, I realized that I have no idea what the process is or how it's supposed to look.
My internship class is going to be in Spring of 2027, but I am unsure of how this works exactly. Does the assigned professor for the course just randomize where their students are placed for the internships? Are you as the student supposed to email someone when it's almost time to start the internship course to find an appropriate law firm to be placed for the internship, and if this is the case, who are students supposed to email about this specific issue?
If anyone could give me an explanation of how this process actually goes, along with what steps to take, I would very much appreciate the assistance!
