Internship Spotlight: Samantha Segura, Attorney General’s Office

In the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, students are encouraged to discover their passions and turn them into real-world impact. Through hands-on internships across diverse fields, our students gain practical experience, build career readiness, and explore paths that align with their interests. We’re proud to share their stories and the inspiring work they’re doing beyond campus.

Samantha Segura, a Jurisprudence, Law and Society major at Montclair, is interning this summer for the Attorney General’s Office in the Consumer Affairs Division. Segura has been assigned to the Drug Affordability Unit where she’s conducted extensive research on fair prescription drug prices as well as issues related to ensuring affordable healthcare.

With her interest in working for the government and the possibility of attending law school in the future, this internship has allowed Segura to spend time around lawyers who work for the unit as well as fellow interns, many of which are in their first year in law school. It also provides an opportunity to experience a government office environment and make connections for the future.

Despite working full time in addition to interning 20 hours a week, Segura has been able to accomplish several projects and conduct extensive research involving collecting data on different circumstances and environments in the state of New Jersey.

With the long-term goal of helping people in mind, Segura’s work has been able to help people obtain affordable prescription drugs and research how the healthcare system in New Jersey can improve in a way that supports citizens of all backgrounds. Segura continues to work hard and serve the community as best they can.
