The internship coincides with the 2027 Regular Session of the Legislature. Interns report to the State House in Montgomery on January 25th and work Monday through Thursday from 8:30 - 4:30. The last day of the internship will be May 27th. Most Alabama colleges and universities will approve college credit for this internship if coordinated in advance.
