Our Interns
My time with Philly VIP was an opportunity to work with a team dedicated to connecting the Philadelphia community and leveraging it's resources, gain exposure to a broad variety of civil legal cases, and learn about current issues as they're developing.
VIP seeks highly motivated, second- or third-year law students to serve as summer legal interns during the supporting VIP’s work in the many areas where our clients face critical legal needs, including: family law (custody, support, divorce, adoption), homeownership/tangled title (probate, quiet title, and deed transfers), debt collection, guardianship, tort defense, and estate planning. Our legal interns function as valued members of the VIP team. With attentive attorney supervision and training, interns gain valuable skills that will help them launch careers in any sector of the legal profession or in non-profit
leadership.
