Covid-19 | Court of Appeals of Rio de Janeiro suspends interns' contracts due to the pandemic

Through a notice published in the Official Gazette on 5/27/2020 (full wording here), Judge Claudio de Mello Tavares, president of the Court of Appeals of Rio de Janeiro, announced the suspension of practically all the contracts of interns linked to the Court’s internship program as of June, 1st.

The suspension will not apply to the contracts of interns who work in the sectors in which the on-site activity has been maintained or those who can perform their duties remotely, as long as authorized by the Presidency of the Court.

In the notice, the Judge pointed out that the Court’s internship program aims to “foster the professional practice of university students”, but that interruptions in face-to-face activities due to the pandemic “can lead to permanent damage to the training of interns”.
