Job Description

The Town of Garner is seeking students interested in public service, municipal law, and local government operations to participate in our internship program for law students.

The Town of Garner, one of the State's fastest-growing towns, is located in southeastern Wake County. Garner is close to Raleigh but still retains its small-town charm. The Town's Legal Department is committed to providing the Town of Garner and its public officials and employees with legal services of the highest quality so that the Town's business is conducted efficiently, effectively, and economically. This position is an excellent opportunity to grow and develop your legal skills and knowledge while making a significant contribution to this community.

The Town of Garner will offer a Spring internship program for a law student who has completed their first year (or the equivalent for part-time students) at an American Bar Association-accredited law school. This internship is available from January 5, 2026 through April 30, 2026. Applicants would be expected to work approximately 15 hours per week over the course of 10 to 12 weeks. The selected intern will earn $25.00 per hour. This is an in-person internship and may include attendance at some Town Council, advisory board, or commission meetings which occur in the evenings.

Examples of Duties:

The internship program will introduce the selected student to the practical experience of working in local government. The program will expose the intern to a variety of areas of law and practice such as planning, code enforcement, community development, real estate, construction, and contracts. The intern will have an opportunity to research and write regarding current and relevant legal issues; attend Town Council meetings and other legal proceedings; and present legal findings to Town Managers and Department Heads. The Town Attorney and Assistant Town Attorney are committed to providing guidance and feedback to truly form a learning and enriching experience for the selected candidate.

Minimum Qualifications:

Applicants must:

  • be currently enrolled at an American Bar Association-accredited law school; and have completed their first year of law school; and
  • be available to work approximately 15 hours per week for 10-12 weeks between January 5, 2026 and April 30, 2026.

Applicants must attach:

  1. a cover letter (identifying specific interests or experiences in Municipal Law),
  2. a resume

Preference will be given to applicants with specific interests or experience in municipal law.

Additional Information:

This position is open until November 30, 2025 and may close at any time.

The internship will be on-site at Garner Town Hall (900 7th Avenue).
