Judicial Internship

Ever Wondered What It鈥檚 Like Inside a Courtroom? With Judicial Internship, students don鈥檛 just study law in textbooks, they experience it in action.

Students in the courthourse

For over twenty years, our Judicial Internship course has opened the doors of the Pomona Courthouse to students eager to explore careers in law, politics, and justice. From observing criminal and juvenile cases to witnessing jury selection, interns get a front-row seat to the judicial process. Along the way, they meet judges, attorneys, and other key figures who shape our legal system.

The internship is more than observation. It’s a chance to connect classroom knowledge with real-world practice. Interns spend two days a week at the courthouse and come together every other Friday to share insights and reflect on what they’ve seen. Plus, the course () counts toward upper-division requirements for political science majors and minors.
