What are some competitive legal programs/extracurriculars I can participate in as a high school student in Massachusetts?

I currently have a volunteer position as an Activism Intern and do Mock Trial at my school, but I want to do more and have the experience to get a paid internship at a law firm.

Martha’s Answer

Hi Erika - it is great that you are already actively pursuing your goals! I found one interesting opportunity with the courts in Massachusetts - see 1st link below.
The 2nd link is the blog it came so you could see more of what is out there.
The 3rd link is from a search of the Massachusetts.gov site. You may be interested in interning in the State Attorney General's office or maybe the advocacy offices of other departments. A stint in the Public Health office may give you subject knowledge you could use in your advocacy.
Good luck!
