 Here is more information: In the Cleveland Regional Office, we represent 13 sections of the Columbus AGO; have 40 attorneys and an office total of approximately 85-90 persons.  We operate our Regional Intern/Extern Program by a representative committee and give the students a comprehensive experience.  We have two mentors (male and female), a writing coach, external events coordinators and generational diversity. 

 Our Summer Program includes a week long experience at the Justice Center spearheaded by Judge Michael Donnelly.  We visit Federal Judges Chris Boyko, Don Nugent and Patty Gaughan in their chambers for hour long informative sessions.  The students are invited to city-wide events for area legal interns and law clerks including networking and learning sessions at the Federal Bankruptcy Court, Federal Bar Association, Department of Justice and the Jewish Alliance.  They have experiences in Columbus, touring the State House, the Ohio Judicial Center, BCI and have met with the Attorney General.  We are litigation-intensive and the students will write motions, memos and briefs, attend depositions and court hearings and learn to network and enhance their collegial and professional skills in an open, gracious and warm environment in Cleveland

 Their work and skills, their professionalism and progress are monitored closely by our committee.  We are firm when we have to be—our mentors correct when needed.  Overall, we have a helpful office to those learning the ropes—many attorneys don’t hesitate to reach out, cultivate, support and teach—and we take our roles seriously.
