The Access to Justice Internship Program provides a unique opportunity for law students to participate in a internship with a legal aid office in rural areas. These internships educate students about the civil legal needs of low-income people and provide future lawyers with the skills to address these problems.

Each law student is supervised by accomplished lawyers and has the opportunity to provide direct legal services to low-income clients in addition to receiving hands-on training and mentorship. Each supervising attorney provides their law students with a variety of experiences and assignments, including significant research and writing, which helps them learn about access to justice matters, legal decision-making, advocacy skills, attorney-client relationships, and legal institutions.

The internships are open to law school students from any law school throughout the country, but preference is given to applicants from Texas law schools. A stipend of $500 per week is provided to every student to help defray the living expenses of the 10-week commitment.
