FRANKFORT Ky. (August 6, 2024) – Attorney General Russell Coleman today expressed his thanks and appreciation for a group of law clerks who interned with the Attorney General's Office over the summer. The clerks were instrumental in supporting daily operations of the Office in the service of Kentucky families.
Each summer, the Kentucky Office of the Attorney General offers law students the opportunity to spend roughly ten weeks gaining quality legal experience in the public sector through observation and hands-on work. Students are given projects that range from performing legal research and drafting memos to preparing court filings and observing legal proceedings.
Collectively, this year’s law clerks completed more than 50 projects from nine departments within the Office. They also had the opportunity to attend oral arguments in the Kentucky Supreme Court and hearings in federal and state courts in both civil and criminal cases.
“Public service is a calling, and I was grateful these future attorneys chose to spend their summer with us. Their work had an impact on our Office and the Commonwealth,” said Attorney General Coleman. “I’ve personally encouraged each of these young men and women to consider public service once they graduate, and I am confident the future of Kentucky law is in capable hands.”
The summer clerks were supervised by Philip Heleringer, Executive Director of the Office of Consumer Protection, and Assistant Attorney General Lindsey Keiser from the Office of Civil and Environmental Law.
The 2024 Office of the Attorney General summer law clerks include:
