(B) Have completed legal studies sufficient to have attained senior standing at his or her law school.
(C) Be certified by the dean of his or her law school as being of good character and competent legal ability, and as being adequately trained to perform as a legal intern under the general supervision of the attorney or attorneys designated by name.
