Obtain information needed to represent the agency in litigation matters by conducting research and analysis of the applicable laws, statutes, and regulations, and by reviewing cases, files, case history, and evidence submitted by opposing parties to understand the facts and issues and to determine the best course of action.
Assist other Litigation Bureau attorneys with their respective cases; may participate in major ATB appeals with senior staff attorneys (Tax Counsels and Counsel IIs) on their assigned cases.
Assist other Divisions within the Department when they seek certain legal advice or action including, but not limited to: seizure referrals; license revocations; contract actions; and opposition and/or cooperation with regard to certain subpoenas and summonses. Participate in drafting new or amended policies related to these functions to ensure compliance with laws.
As assigned, collaborate with other agencies or stakeholders to share information, resolve issues or work on cross‑functional initiatives to meet shared goals.

The Private Counsel Division and Strategic Litigation Unit of CPCS are seeking applicants for Summer 2026 internship positions across the Commonwealth. We are interested in law students (both with and without SJC Rule 3:03 Certification), graduate students, and undergraduate students for opportunities with these offices.
We fight for equal justice and human dignity by supporting our clients in achieving their legal and life goals. We zealously advocate for the rights of individuals and promote just public policy to protect the rights of all.
Our Values
Courage • Accountability • Respect • Excellence
We stand with our Clients and the Community in the fight for Justice. We are dedicated to providing zealous advocacy, community-oriented defense and protection of fundamental constitutional and human rights. Our staff across the Commonwealth embodies a diverse group of people from different backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. It is through these differences in age, ethnicity, geographic origin, race, faith, religion, and progressive values, that we are able to best serve our clients. Through our internship program we seek to hire, develop, and hopefully retain talented people from all backgrounds. We strongly encourage individuals from non-traditional backgrounds, historically marginalized, or underrepresented groups to apply.
The clients we represent are diverse across every context imaginable and bring many unique cultural dimensions to the matters we address. This reality creates a critical need for CPCS attorneys to be culturally competent and able to work well with people of different races, ethnicities, genders and/or sexual orientation identities, abilities, and limited English proficiency, among other protected characteristics.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION MISSION STATEMENT
CPCS is committed to protecting the fundamental constitutional and human rights of our assigned clients through zealous advocacy, community-oriented defense, and the fullness of excellent legal representation. We are dedicated to building and maintaining strong professional relationships, while striving to accept, listen to and respect the diverse circumstances of each client, as we dedicate ourselves to meeting their individual needs. It is our CPCS mission to achieve these goals, and in furtherance thereof, we embrace and endorse diversity, equity and inclusion as our core values as we maintain a steadfast commitment to: (1) Ensure that CPCS management and staff members represent a broad range of human differences and experience; (2) Provide a work climate that is respectful and supports success; and (3) Promote the dignity and well-being of all staff members. CPCS leadership is responsible for ensuring equity, diversity, and inclusion. The ability to achieve these goals with any level of certainty is ultimately the responsibility each member of the CPCS community.
AGENCY OVERVIEW
The Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS) is the state agency in Massachusetts responsible for providing an attorney when the state or federal constitution or a state statute requires the appointment of an attorney for a person who cannot afford to retain one. The agency provides representation in criminal, delinquency, youthful offender, child welfare, guardianship, mental health, sexually dangerous person, and sex offender registry cases, as well as in appeals and post-conviction and post-judgment proceedings related to those matters.
UNIT OVERVIEWS
Alternative Commitment & Registration Support Unit
The summer internship with ACRSU offers one to two second-year law students the opportunity to fully litigate a client's case from assignment through to the final administrative hearing before the Sex Offender Registry Board. Interns will also help with legal research, observe Superior Court trials, visit incarcerated clients, review psychological and scientific studies, and assist with other projects. The ACRSU is committed to ensuring that every indigent adult and youth in Massachusetts has access to zealous legal representation when facing sexually dangerous person civil commitment trials and sex offender registry board classification proceedings. Emerging issues include disparate impact of proceedings on minorities, propriety of proceeding against individuals who are juveniles or were juveniles at the time of past crimes, and enforcement of due process guarantees.
Innocence Program
This unit is devoted to identifying and fighting wrongful convictions in all counties across Massachusetts. Innocence Program staff and private panel attorneys represent indigent defendants who have been convicted and punished for crimes they did not commit. The Innocence Program accepts both DNA and non-DNA based innocence claims, with special attention to cases involving eyewitness identification evidence, police misconduct, flawed or invalidated forensic science testimony, and false confessions. Legal interns will work closely with the program director, staff attorneys, legal fellows, paralegal and administrative assistant to screen cases, provide litigation support, work on related granted funded collaborative projects, and assist in drafting trial and appellate court filings for any active litigation. Interns will also have the opportunity to attend court for any hearings or arguments.
Parole Advocacy Unit
The Parole Advocacy Unit advocates for incarcerated people who need assistance with parole or medical parole release. In addition to training, assigning, and supporting private counsel, the unit handles cases and serves as a point of contact for prisoners, their loved ones, and attorneys with questions about parole, medical parole, and incarceration. The Parole Advocacy Unit consists of a Director, a Staff Attorney, and an Administrative Assistant. Interns will help the Unit's attorneys by screening clients for access to counsel, helping on staff cases at various stages of representation, and conducting needed legal research in this emerging area of law.
Private Counsel Criminal Appeals
The Criminal Appeals Unit assigns attorneys to adult, criminal, post-conviction cases and oversees panel attorneys who litigate these cases. Interns should be law students and will assist lawyers on some developing and pivotal legal issues by drafting responses to inquiries, research, writing, review of documents, and preparing discovery packets.
Special Projects Unit
The Special Projects Unit (SPU) is part of the Private Counsel Division Criminal Appeals Unit. This unit assigns cases to criminal post-conviction clients when there have been developments in the law that have a widespread impact on CPCS post-conviction clients and may provide grounds for undoing a conviction, notifies clients and attorneys about these developments and, in some cases, litigates these issues. For more information, please see our webpage at *************************************************************************** Of special note, Summer Interns will be asked to assist in preparation for direct litigation which will involve seeking and reviewing discovery and related legal research and assisting with preparation for an evidentiary hearing.
Strategic Litigation Unit
Interns will collaborate with experienced lawyers responsible for pursuing litigation to address systemic issues of injustice CPCS clients face daily. This unit also assists attorneys from other CPCS units with cases of strategic importance and therefore involves both criminal and civil litigation, at both the trial and appellate levels.
