Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court

Intern Program

 

Dear Intern Candidate:

Thank you for your interest in the Court Services Unit's Intern Program.

As a volunteer intern with the Arlington Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, you will have a unique opportunity to gain real-work experience serving the youth, adults and families of Arlington. Our interns interact with Court staff, judges, lawyers, schools, and social service agencies.

You may print and fill out the application and return to me at the address above. Notice that there are four reference letters that you must give to friends and associates to fill out. Because the references are vital to the application process, please make sure that your contacts return these forms to me as soon as possible. Completion of the application does not guarantee an internship. Internships are competitive, as there are only so many positions available at any given time. The earlier the application is completed and returned the better the chance of securing one of the positions. All interns are required to undergo a NCIC criminal background and D.M.V. check.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,

Erick T. King
