While law in school Pamela was a legal intern with the Clerk's Office of the Supreme Judicial Court for Suffolk County.

During law school she also interned at the City Solicitor's Office in Taunton where she researched land use issues such as riparian and littoral rights and worked on eminent domain cases. Lastly, she was a judicial intern to The Honorable Lisa A. Roberts of the Plymouth County Probate and Family Court. She was responsible for preparing decisions in family law cases such as divorces, child custody awards and modifications, and guardianships.
