Sec 7.2 In-Court Practice Requirement

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

If you're a Licensed Legal Intern working under a practicing attorney, district attorney, municipal attorney, attorney general, or state agency, you need to spend at least 4 hours each month getting courtroom experience. This time requirement is meant to help you learn how court actually works, not just study it from books.

You can meet this requirement in two ways. First, you can go to court yourself and actually take part in a case under supervision. Second, you can watch your supervising attorney (or another qualified attorney standing in for them) handle a case in court. Either way counts, as long as you're getting real exposure to how court proceedings work.

This rule makes sure legal interns don't spend all their time behind a desk. Even if you're not the one speaking in front of a judge, watching skilled attorneys work in court teaches you things you can't learn any other way.
