Law Student Work Study Program

Marion County District Attorney's Office (MCDAO) is conducting a special procurement for a Law Student Work Study Program through a direct award contract or Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with local law schools. The procurement seeks to establish a collaborative program that allows law students to engage in professional work experience within the district attorney's office. Interested law schools located in the Marion County area are invited to participate by contacting PO_Contracts@co.marion.or.us to initiate contract negotiations. The procurement was posted on April 24, 2023, with a key deadline for comments and protests set for May 1, 2023. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the primary objective appears to be creating a structured work study opportunity that provides practical legal experience for law students while supporting the operational needs of the district attorney's office.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified law schools in the Marion County region, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned in the available documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement materials, and there are no explicit details regarding budget ranges or potential award values. The program seems designed as a flexible arrangement where participating law schools can negotiate terms directly with Marion County. The procurement does not specify particular technological infrastructure requirements or integration needs. Interested law schools will need to proactively engage with the county to develop mutually agreeable terms for student participation in the work study program.
