All students at the Tech Center have the option to obtain an internship towards the end of their experience here. The philosophy is that there is invaluable knowledge and experience to be gained working side-by-side with a professional in an actual environment. Below are some of the great internships our students have had, thanks to Legal Systems!

Right now students in LSA are working on:

LSA Day at the Courthouse-- students are paired with a paralegal, court reporter, or court clerk for the day to learn about that person's job. Students who are paired with the court clerk sit in the courtroom during a live trial, near the judge.
Visiting the Virginia Beach courthouse and the federal courthouse in Norfolk to meet with judges and lawyers, observe court cases, and even sit in the judges chair (when court is not in session, of course!)
Research professional dress and present do's and don'ts and create an entire professional outfit
Watch a local court reporter demonstrate how to use the transcription machine and then get to try it out themselves

What students in LSA are saying:

"I feel this is a great place to learn unique skils with an open and happy mood!"

They provide you with knowledge and teach you certain skills for your desired field of work and from here you get certified to begin working. This is a great school that is offered free to high school students who are eager to learn!"
"I think LSA is great! The Tech Center is a place of opportunities and great people that help students succeed in life!"
