Interns in the legislative program must be able to rapidly understand and analyze policy issues presented in the hundreds of bills PCL will review and comment on each year.

All interns will have the opportunity to do work in the Capitol, such as attending hearings and meetings on assigned bills. This position requires good organizational skills, the ability to assimilate new information very rapidly, and an excellent writing ability.
