Legal Externships
The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Idaho offers an outstanding legal externship program, one noted for its intellectual rigor and exceptional opportunities for practical skill development. Our program consistently attracts exceptional students from top law schools throughout the Country. While externs are given challenging research and writing problems, they are also included in meetings, hearings and many other non-research case litigation. Moreover, second year externs may obtain a limited license which enables them to make significant in-court litigation appearances and participate in depositions.
The Assistant United States Attorneys who guide the externs' work are highly skilled litigators, averaging more than ten years of experience in federal practice. They are committed to developing genuine mentoring relationships with the students they supervise. To ensure quality supervision, we accept only a limited number of externs.
Mission Statement
The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Idaho, through its summer externship program, strives to provide intellectual rigor and exceptional opportunities for practical skill development for law students through its highly skilled litigators by providing mentoring and supervision.
