Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz has been planning her office’s internship program ever since she decided to run for DA, and the coronavirus pandemic was not going to stop the program’s first summer, she said Wednesday.
A group of 54 law students and 12 college students started the six-week program Monday, joining a video call with Katz and Chief Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Naiburg to discuss what Katz described as a historic moment.
