ALABAMA LAW
INSTITUTE
Legislative Intern
Opportunity: Alabama Legislative Internship Program
Internship Dates: January 5 – April 25, 2022
Monday – Thursday, 8:00 – 4:30
Location: State House, Montgomery, AL
Unpaid for College Credit (Credit to be coordinated
between the student and the University with
assistance from LSA)
If you are looking for an internship that will give
you the chance to network with state leaders, hone
your knowledge of the state legislative process, AND
provide you with an excellent opportunity to grow
personally, the Alabama Legislative Internship
Program might be what you are looking for. This
internship is an immersive experience held in the
spring of each year when the Alabama Legislature is
in session. The purpose of the internship is to
expose college students to the legislative process.
Interns are assigned to either a group of Senators
or to several House committees—all located in the
State House in Montgomery, Alabama. They assist
committee clerks with committee preparation and
attend all assigned committees. Interns perform
non-legal research for legislative members and
assist with constituent services. Observation of the
legislative process is emphasized and when the
legislature is in session (most Tuesdays and
Thursdays), interns are often in the House chamber
or Senate gallery observing the process in action.
The 2022 Legislative Internship Program will open
with an orientation session a few days prior to the
beginning of the 2022 Legislative Session. The
internship begins on January 5, 2022 and ends April
25, 2022 (or whenever the legislature adjourns if
sooner). Again, all interns are placed in the State
House in Montgomery, Alabama. The hours are Monday –
Thursday, 8:00 – 4:30. While not required, interns
are encouraged to take advantage of any days when
the legislators stay late to conduct business so
that they can get the “full flavor” of the
legislative process. In addition to the above,
interns submit weekly journal entries to the
internship coordinator (and to their college
professors if receiving college credit). Resume work
and mock interviews are available upon request.
This internship is unpaid; however, college credit
is given by most colleges/universities in the state
for the experience. (Several universities give a
full 12 hours). Each student works with his/her own
university with support provided by the Law
Institute to provide all required evaluations and
documentation needed for credit. We do have many
December graduates who participate as well.
To Apply: Go to the Legislative Services Agency
website: www.lsa.state.al.us Click on Law Institute
and follow the internship link. 2022 applications
will be on the website by late July. DOWNLOAD,
complete, save per application instructions, and
e-mail to tnorman@lsa.state.al.us. Applications are
reviewed on a rolling basis with a preferred
deadline of October 1, 2021. Questions? Contact

Part-time job or Internship. Available 10-20
hours per week, mostly Monday through Friday during
the day.
About: We are a
dynamic company that is growing rapidly and we are
looking for an immediate Marketing Assistant. Our
company specializes in aftermarket truck
accessories, as well as home and outdoor products,
such as pools, spas, grills, portable buildings, car
ports, and more. We currently operate 18 retail
stores in AL, GA, FL, and MS, three wholesale
distribution warehouses in AL, FL, and VA, and
operate several eCommerce channels, including .coms,
Amazon, and ebay.
Note: This position
may be able to be used as an internship, so please
speak with your advisor if you are interested in
that. Ideally, after a period of 3-4 months, if the
hire works well for our company, a full-time
position may be offered, which would also include
company benefits.
Description: Because we are a small, scrappy team,
we all wear many hats. Our hire will report directly
to the Digital Marketing Director and would be
responsible for tasks including, but not limited to,
photography, copy writing, gathering information and
assets, assisting with planning and organizing
social media and online marketing campaigns, and
more. The nature of the position will require some
travel, so the candidate will need reliable
transportation, as well as a mobile phone and
laptop. Most travel would be day trips within the
central-Alabama region, however, some further trips
may be necessary from time to time.
Qualifications: We are hoping to find a candidate
who is majoring in Marketing or Advertising,
however, this is not required, as long as some
coursework applies. Nominal experience is required,
as long as the person can demonstrate the skills and
desire to do the job and learn exists. This position
offers a chance to gain real-life experience on the
job.
Work-related Skills: Photography – We will train,
however, a good eye for framing and positioning,
backgrounds, and details is necessary, keeping in
mind that the best camera is the one in your hand.
Social Media – This is more than just posting memes
for your friends. Social media is the face of our
company online. Everything must be scrutinized for
multiple angles before being published. Creative
writing is helpful, as well as ideas for catching
our audiences’ eyes and generating interest. Most
posts will flow through the Digital Marketing
Director, prior to posting, however, Instagram and
Facebook Stories may not be. So, this person needs
to understand the importance of good grammar, clear
speech, have good taste, and also be able to
self-generate the content in the field. Basic
working knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator, HTML,
and CSS a huge plus. Some work may involve updating
websites or marketplaces, so experience with ebay,
Amazon, and basic working knowledge of Microsoft
Excel a plus. Technical proficiencies: Office
software, photography and/or illustration software,
social media, typing. Personal Traits: Candidate
should be outgoing and able to manage their time
well, while working remotely. Because of the remote
nature of much of the work, the hire will need to be
motivated, honest, and willing to be held
accountable. Must be willing to follow and
comply with current COVID-19 CDC recommendations, as
well as always wear a mask when working directly
with the Digital Marketing Director.
