Does standing up for justice motivate you?
Are you ready to explore the world of legal strategy and get a taste of courtroom challenges?

You’ve come to the right place. Rossen Law Firm invites dedicated American Heritage, college, and law school students to apply for our hands-on criminal justice summer internships.

This is an exclusive opportunity open to promising legal minds from across the nation and around the world. In a fully in-person, collaborative environment, you’ll work with accomplished attorneys on real cases, meet judges, and learn the ropes of the criminal justice system.

Highlights of Our Internships for Criminal Justice Students

Immersive Learning

Dive straight into active criminal cases. Interns assist with trial binders, research, drafting memos, and reviewing discovery—all while observing courtroom action.

Mentorship & Real-World Exposure

Shadow attorneys during client meetings, hearings, and depositions. Participate in special Pop-Up Projects with our owner and managing partner, analyzing trending criminal cases and drafting defense strategies. For example, we’ve explored the high-profile cases of Bill Cosby and Derek Chauvin.

Collaborative Team Environment

Work alongside paralegals and lawyers who focus on DUI, drug crimes, federal matters, domestic violence, sex crimes, white-collar cases, and more. Every day offers new challenges and growth.

Tailored Options and Unique Opportunities

At Rossen Law Firm, we believe a passion for criminal defense can spark long before law school. That’s why we offer a program unlike most. We provide opportunities for American Heritage students, internships for Criminal Justice majors and other ambitious undergraduates, and more traditional criminal justice internships for law school students eager for real-world experience.

Explore our tailored options below to find the right fit for your goals and schedule. Whether you’re just beginning to explore a legal career or you’re ready to sharpen your skills for the courtroom, we have a pathway for you.
