Intern Orientations: May 30,
June 1, June 4 and June 7, 2018

Intern assignments will be made on June 4, 2018. Expect
your intern to reach out to you during the week of June 4 to schedule an
appointment to come by to introduce himself or herself to you. This is a good time to have the Intern fill
out any required paperwork so that they can hit the ground running on the
first day of work.

First All Intern Meeting. Interns
meet once per week in the evenings at Nelson Mullins to go over enrichment
and various educational and professional topics. We ask that you consider releasing your
intern a few minutes early if feasible so that they can participate in the
meetings. Most are held on Wednesday
evenings. Public Interest Interns
receive their paychecks at these meetings.
Dates are listed below.

II. Dealing
with Issues and Concerns: Before the
Interns begin work, they participate in four orientation sessions with their
Program and Intern Coordinators. During
orientation, we go over the “Do’s and Don’t’s” of working in a law office as
well as other important information in regards to what to expect in a
professional environment. We do not
expect there to be any issues. However,
if there are any issues, we want to hear from you. Below please find our contact
information. We welcome your calls or
emails anytime.

[1] The
Atlanta Bar Association Summer Law Internship Program was conceived by four
Atlanta Bar Association lawyers in 1993 and designed to achieve three
goals: (1) to provide valuable work
experience; (2) to further students’
understanding of the law; and (3) to
promote mentor relationships with the Atlanta legal community.
