High School Interns Summer 2024

High School Interns Extend Their Stay at Khalifeh & Partners Due to Popular Demand

At Khalifeh & Partners (K&P), our commitment to nurturing future legal talent has led to an exciting development. Following a highly successful first week, our second cohort of high school interns has opted to extend their internships by popular demand.

This enthusiastic group of six students from various schools enjoyed their initial week so much that they unanimously requested to extend their one-week internships. Intern Leen Hajjiri shared, “This is a very insightful internship for young aspiring lawyers. It’s an experience I highly recommend, and it has brought me closer to deciding on a career in law.”

K&P’s internship program is meticulously designed to offer high-quality, work-based learning experiences tailored to the needs and interests of students. The interns found that being part of a larger group significantly enriched their experience. Zaid Al Sadi remarked, “I thoroughly enjoyed this internship, especially because we were a big group working as a team. It helped us learn from one another, as each person brought a unique perspective.”

Interns at K&P gain hands-on, real-world opportunities that bridge the gap between classroom learning and professional practice. This helps them understand what is expected in the workplace and provides a realistic view of the legal profession. “It’s a very eye-opening experience as it shows the real world of law. It’s not like reality TV shows. It reassured me that I am on the right track,” said Zain Tahboub.

Our internship program undergoes rigorous planning, with clear goals, evaluations, staff allocation, and regular attention to ensure a valuable experience. Adele Shaban, K&P’s Associate Buddy, warmly stated, “We are always happy to receive interns at K&P. It’s a chance to listen to their unique perspectives as young adults while giving them a taste of real-life cases.”

K&P offers internships during two cycles: Summer (June – August) and Winter (December). The application period for summer internships is open from February 1st to April 30th, and for winter internships from September to mid-November.

We are thrilled to see the positive impact our internship program has on young, aspiring lawyers and look forward to continuing to support their journey into the legal profession.
