Work with Stephen Lee
I’ve had many college students and law students work with me for one-week externships and other short-term opportunities that can help show what being an attorney (particularly one handling criminal cases) involves.
If you’re interested in shadowing me or working with me on some real trials, please send me an email. I’m looking for someone with some experience with investigating, critical reasoning, and/or organizing complicated information – you’ll also need to know how to use Excel.
I think this is a great opportunity particularly for someone who is in law school or intending to become a lawyer. At the same time, I don’t want to know what college or law school you went to or are going to. What schools you went to may reflect who you were as a teenager or in the past, not necessarily what you’ve done since then or who you are now. So, I’m going to try applying Malcolm Gladwell’s “Grand Unified Theory” here - I’m not going to ask where you went to school, and I don’t want you to tell me.
If you’re interested, please get back to me soon. I’ll try to make decisions by the end of May 2026.
