OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
The Law Student Internship Program at the Office of the City Attorney (OCA) has two fundamental purposes. First, the use of law students provides the OCA with legal resources. In tight municipal budgets, it is not always possible to have attorneys available for the necessary legal research and writing to operate efficiently and provide service to our client, the City of Madison. The use of law students assists the OCA in its primary function.
Second, as a public law office, the OCA believes it has an obligation to assist in the training of young law students. The experience provided in an OCA internship will assist these students in becoming better lawyers.
