News » Some DAs turning to interns, volunteers
Feb. 5, 2010
District attorneys around the state are dealing with a shortage of prosecutors, and some are getting help from interns and even volunteers who recently graduated from law school.
Winnebago County district attorney Christian Gossett has been outspoken about the growing caseloads for his assistants. He says it's tough to get help from law school interns during the school year, because Oshkosh is a long way from Marquette University and UW-Madison.
Gossett says they typically have two or three interns during the summer, though. He says they are fortunate to have some help this semester, from a Marquette law school student who lives between Milwaukee and Oshkosh.
Dane County's district attorney is getting volunteer help from recent UW-Madison law school graduates who are looking for work. Gossett says that's something he would be interested in, but the distance puts Winnebago County at a disadvantage.
The shortage of prosecutors is expected to get worse in the coming weeks. Gov. Doyle is considering cutting positions to deal with a budget shortfall. |
