Do's and Don'ts in hiring interns

Question

Hello!

We are a software development startup based in San Diego. We would like to know: What are typical "do's and don'ts" when hiring interns? What exactly are the legal rules? For example, is there an obligation that the intern be paid?

Thank you for your advice! John
