The 17th Judicial Circuit proudly welcomed its 2026 summer interns earlier this month. Judge Jackie Powell, liaison for the summer intern program, joined Chief Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips, Judges Betsy Benson and Florence Taylor Barner, and Braulio Rosa, Executive Director of the BCBA, in greeting the students on their first day.
Throughout the summer, the interns will gain valuable hands-on experience through judicial assignments, tours of the jail and crime lab, Q&A sessions with judges from various divisions, and weekly Wednesday Lunch & Learn programs with members of the local legal community.
An exciting and educational summer ahead for these future legal professionals!
