    Position Description

    This is a non-Civil Service announcement. Our student volunteers support the work of the office in numerous ways. We strive to create a challenging but supportive educational environment for our interns.

    We hope our interns and volunteers will leave our program with a thorough understanding of our client-centered indigent defense practice and practical skills they can apply in the future, as well as a sense of discernment about whether a career as a public defender is right for them.

    Ideal candidates will be familiar with the principles of client-centered representation, and willing to practice in that model.

    Candidates should also demonstrate a commitment to serving marginalized persons and communities, and the ability to recognize and respect the human dignity of every person.

    This internship is unpaid.

    The Metropolitan Public Defender's Office represents adults accused of crimes in Davidson County who cannot afford to hire a lawyer, and children in Davidson County charged with being delinquent and unable to hire a lawyer.

    Cases range from the simplest misdemeanor to complex capital murder cases.

    Our mission is to defend the liberty, honor and constitutional rights of the individuals, of all ages, whose cases have been entrusted to us.

    Through zealous advocacy, we strive not only to deliver excellence in our representation of each and every client, but also to stand with our clients and the community in working to create a more just, fair and compassionate legal system.

    The guiding principle of the Office is that each client is entitled to quality representation that recognizes the client's dignity and achieves the best possible outcome for the case.

    Our attorneys, investigators, social workers and support staff take great pride in providing a high level of service.

    Typical Duties


    • Interacting with and building relationships with clients
    • Assisting with investigation and mitigation work, including but not limited to reviewing case information, interviewing witnesses, visiting alleged crime scenes, and developing mitigation information
