The City of Englewood is at the heart of the Denver Metropolitan area, located just south of Denver with a population of approximately 35,000 residents. Englewood is a tight-knit community with a small-city atmosphere and all the benefits associated with a larger metropolitan area. The City is served by light rail and bus transit systems linking the community to Downtown Denver and other locations, including Denver International Airport.
The City Attorney’s Office seeks candidates to be its 2025 2L Spring Extern, through the Denver University School of Law. The City Attorney’s Office consists of three civil attorneys, a criminal prosecutor, a paralegal/Risk Manager, and an administrative specialist. The office provides legal services to elected/appointed officials, boards, departments, and City staff on a broad range of topics, including contracts, public safety, legislation drafting, community development, natural resources, employment, general litigation, and criminal prosecution.
The ideal candidate for Extern is responsive and personable, and has a strong work ethic, good research and writing skills, and a desire to explore many different aspects of the law. This is not an internship solely spent in front of a computer: we anticipate the Summer Intern will gain both civil and criminal experience, spending time in the community, meeting with public officials and boards, learning to draft legislation and present during public meetings, and assisting with various research projects that result in visible improvements to the community.
Candidate qualifications: Minimum 3.0 GPA is required. Demonstrated commitment to extracurricular activities and/or community service preferred; Journal/Law Review experience preferred.
This is a full-time externship for up to 30 hours per week for 16 weeks, that pays $20 per hour. Start/end dates are flexible.
