How It Works

   Since this is our very first semester implementing the idea of a "rolling internship," I thought it would be best if I took the time to write down exactly how this is, in theory, going to work. Of course, the rolling internship is a brand new idea; thus, we are open to new ideas and suggestions in improving this wonderful asset that Phi Alpha Delta is now offering.

   The idea is that lawyers will contact PAD (the Public Relations chair) and let us know any positions they have open in their law firms for undergraduate students. In return, we contact the members with the information provided. If interested, such members will then take the neccessary steps to apply for the position. In doing so, we can provide a pool of qualified, eager students seeking hands-on experiences.
PAD will email the lawyers back with an message letting them know our process, thanking them for being interested, and to let us know once the position is filled. We would love to hear feedback from the lawyers!

   PAD will keep a detailed list of these affairs through the Public Relations committee. As members of Phi Alpha Delta, you will get 'first dibs' on the opportunities we hear about, as we will give an update on positions at our weekly meetings. Next, a mass email shall be sent to all the members (so those present at meetings will have an advantage), and then one week from that date we will post openings on this website under "Job Postings". We will go public with provided information in order to better serve the firms who are using PAD to publicize for their given positions. We will also forward all information along to MSU Pre-Law advisors and our Student Employment Services. This will not only ensure the fact that PAD members will be presented with these wonderful opportunities, but we are also helping out the other students on campus and the community by publicizing through various means. In doing so, we hope to embody the university's public affairs mission and act as a recruiting tool (PR Rep.) for local firms.
