Clinton County approves externship and internship program for County Attorney's office
Summary
Supervisors authorized a year-round externship and summer internship program in the County Attorney's Office to improve recruitment, approving $25/hr compensation for student participants and allowing payment of training and licensing expenses.
The Clinton County Board of Supervisors authorized establishment of a year-round externship and summer internship program in the County Attorney's Office to build a pipeline for future Assistant County Attorneys.
Supervisor Jim Irwin moved the authorization, which permits law‑school externs and summer interns to work between 25 and 40 hours per week and provides compensation at $25.00 per hour. The program language in the motion specifies externs must be "eligible for student practice pursuant to the rules of the Iowa Supreme Court" and authorizes payment of reasonable training and licensing expenses, travel, lodging and related costs to enable student practice and participation.
The board also authorized the County Attorney to work with externs and interns to identify temporary housing and to coordinate with local institutions; any proposed use of county funds for housing requires prior Board approval. The motion passed by roll call (Irwin: Yes; George: Absent; Srp: Yes).
