REGISTER IANNELLA INVITES LOCAL STUDENTS TO JOIN SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGAM:

Once again this year, Suffolk County Register of Probate Richard Iannella is inviting college students from Boston and throughout Suffolk County to apply for participation in a summer internship program at the Probate and Family Court Registry. While in the program, participants will gain first-hand experience and knowledge of the state’s court system – particularly, the administrative functions of the Probate and Family Court.

“With warmer weather upon us and as the spring semester nears an end, many college students are thinking about a summer internship as a way to gain some life experience in their field of study. This is a good place to learn a little about everything,” said Iannella. “ From attorneys with legal training to employees with administrative, public policy, and even human and social service backgrounds, members of our staff put a variety of backgrounds and disciplines to use every day.”

While participating in the program, student interns will learn about the many responsibilities of the Registry, including the administration and tracking of court cases, review and acceptance of legal paperwork, programs designed to assist those who come to court without a lawyer, docketing, trial procedure and other Registry activities.

“For students pursuing an education in related fields, this is a great opportunity to apply what they’ve read in textbooks or only been told about to real-life situations and events,” remarked Register Iannella.

Although financial compensation is not available, schedules are flexible, and Register Iannella will provide progress reports or other verification to schools requiring such information. Students applying for consideration must currently be enrolled in good standing in an accredited college or university.
