Suffolk County District Attorney's Office

Internships with the Suffolk DA’s Office

A group of SCDAO interns stand with staff.

The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office (SCDAO) invites applications year round from students interested in an opportunity to gain unparalleled, hands-on experience at the most innovative and progressive district attorney’s office in New England.

At the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, interns are essential and integral members of the team. Through observation and practice, students not only gain job skills, confidence, and knowledge but also receive the opportunity to take part in impactful, challenging, and mission-driven work.

SCDAO also offers senior law students who are certified as student practitioners under SJC Rule 3:03 the opportunity to gain practical experience representing the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in our district and municipal courts, where they handle a range of responsibilities from arraignments to bail hearings to pre-trial conferences to motion hearings and trials.
