Second District Court of Appeal – Spring 2024 Internship

The Second District Court of Appeal is accepting applications for a Spring 2024 internship position working with a judge in chambers at the courthouse in Tampa (located at the Stetson Tampa Law Center). 

This is an ideal opportunity for students interested in gaining an understanding of appellate practice and the inner workings of the court, as well as improving legal research and writing skills. 

Interns will review appellate briefs and records, watch oral arguments, conduct legal research, submit written analyses, discuss legal issues with judges and staff attorneys, and attend regularly scheduled meetings. Although this internship is unpaid, 2DCA is happy to work with students seeking course credit or pro bono hours.

Please note this is a general application process.  The number of judges able to take on interns varies each semester, but all judges will have the opportunity to review all applications.  All interested students are encouraged to apply.
