Any suggestions for activities/objectives/research projects to give to an unpaid college intern? I am at a plaintiff’s personal injury firm in Florida and the college student is going to be observing for two days a week/5 hours per day for the month of June.

Jury verdict research, research memos for basic legal issues within motions, research memos for any recent updates to local statutes/rules, have them sit in on depos or hearings if the parties are ok with it

Thanks for the ideas!

We usually have our college interns do a lot of court observing, and talk to them about what they saw. I also have them do organizing or research tasks that I’ve been putting off. Like, take this list of names and look up court records to tell me who had a certain type of order entered. Or, pull all search warrants for this detective from this year. It gets them into actual cases so they get familiar with the court system, without requiring actual legal research and writing.
