Internships/Fellowship

The Miami Beach City Attorney’s Office offers law students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a full-service, in-house law office that handles a broad range of practice areas. Interns and externs work closely with experienced attorneys on complex legal matters affecting a dynamic municipal government.

Interns and externs gain valuable public sector experience in key areas such as litigation, land use and zoning, legislation, real estate, transactional matters, constitutional law, employment and labor disputes, personal injury, environmental law, ethics, and election laws. They engage in substantive legal work, including legal research, drafting memoranda of law and motions, litigation support, and assisting attorneys with hearings and trials in State and Federal courts, and before administrative boards.

Participants also attend meetings of the City Commission and various other City boards—including the Planning, Historic Preservation, and Design Review Boards, as well as the Zoning Board of Adjustment—and obtain firsthand insight into the workings of municipal government. Law students may pursue externship credit as part of this program.

Prospective interns and fellows that wish to participate in law school sponsored programs should contact their respective school of law for placement.

Other applicants should contact Nicholas Kallergis, Deputy City Attorney who supervises the Internship/Fellowship Program for the Office of the City Attorney. Mr. Kallergis may be contacted via email:
