Winter/ Christmas Break Law
3 week Full time Volunteer Internship in Law Office
The Law Office of Kenneth Vercammen established a special Winter break legal internship program for 3rd & 4th year college students.
Law Office Internship
The "Law Clerk Mentor/Internship Program" is now in its 12th year. Our volunteer students have learned while working in a busy law office and dealing with real clients. Students interested in a career in law obtain experience in law office procedures, preparing legal correspondence, and assisting clients. Students will also help the Metuchen Public Defender. Interested students must mail or fax a cover letter indicating the internship they are applying for and resume. Please post these positions. If you have any questions or suggestions, I would be glad to speak with you.
