ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Discover what it’s like to work inside one of the nation’s largest trial courts through the Superior Court of Los Angeles County’s Student Worker Program. This six-month paid program places college students in hands‑on assignments where they gain experience supporting daily court operations, whether in a courthouse or one of the many administrative areas that keep the Court running smoothly.

Student Workers must participate in court-sponsored program activities, typically held on Wednesdays and Fridays.
