RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the District Attorney, or designee, to execute an Employment Addendum Agreement with University of Santa Clara, including mutual indemnification between the parties, in an amount not to exceed $4,000.00 per student for stipends for students participating in the District Attorney's office summer training program for the period July 1, 2014, through August 31, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The compensation of the law students from University of Santa Clara School of Law is divided between the law school and Contra Costa County, with Contra Costa County contributing 40% of their work-study amount, but not exceeding $4,000.00 per student.

BACKGROUND:

The District Attorney wishes to present a summer training program for students having completed their second year of law school. The Office will benefit from giving potential employees an introduction to different areas of the office and giving advanced training in the area of criminal prosecution and providing support for its employees, while the students will gain important work experience and insight into the practice of criminal prosecution.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District Attorney's Office will not be authorized to pay stipends to certain law students for services rendered as part of the work study program for the period July 1, 2014 through August 31, 2014.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
