CIVIL DIVISION INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Volunteer internship opportunities are offered in each of the six Civil Division Branches. Interns will be assigned to work in one of the following areas: Appellate Staff; Office of Consumer Litigation; Commercial Litigation Branch; Federal Programs Branch; Office of Immigration Litigation; or the Torts Branch. The functions and responsibilities of each of the six branches are listed below. Additional information can be found on the Department's website at http://www.usdoj.gov/civil.
APPELLATE STAFF The Appellate Staff is responsible for the appellate work of the entire Civil Division. Thus, the Appellate Staff caseload includes cases from all of the Division's Branches and Offices. The Staff also handles the many cases that are appealed directly from administrative agencies to the courts of appeals. Attorneys on the Staff draft briefs and orally argue cases in the courts of appeals. In addition, each attorney participates in drafting various documents for the United States Supreme Court, including petitions for certiorari and briefs on the merits in Civil Division cases.
OFFICE OF CONSUMER LITIGATION The Office of Consumer Litigation enforces federal consumer protection laws and defends federal agencies that administer those laws (e.g., food and drug laws, including generic drug manufacturing and tobacco product advertising, and product safety laws). Among the Office's client agencies are the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The office attorneys handle civil and criminal cases at both the trial and appellate levels.
COMMERCIAL LITIGATION The largest branch in the Division, the Commercial Litigation Branch handles cases that involve billions of dollars in claims both by and against the government. The Branch prosecutes claims for the recovery of monies fraudulently secured or improperly diverted from the United States Treasury. It defends the country's international trade policy, and defends and asserts the government's contract and patent rights. In addition, the Branch protects the government's financial and commercial interests under foreign treaties. The Branch's workload falls into five major areas: Corporate/Financial Litigation; Civil Frauds; Intellectual Property; Litigation in the National Courts; and Foreign Litigation.
FEDERAL PROGRAMS BRANCH The Federal Programs Branch litigates on behalf of approximately 100 federal agencies, the President and Cabinet officers, and other government officials. The activities of this Branch include defending against constitutional challenges to federal statutes, suits to overturn government policies and programs, and attacks on the legality of government decisions. The Branch also initiates litigation to enforce regulatory statutes and to remedy statutory and regulatory violations.
OFFICE OF IMMIGRATION LITIGATION The Office of Immigration Litigation has jurisdiction over all civil immigration litigation, and is responsible for the nationwide coordination of immigration matters before the federal district courts and circuit courts of appeals. The Office has both affirmative and defensive litigation responsibilities, and its attorneys work closely with United States Attorneys' offices on immigration cases. The Office of Immigration Litigation provides support and counsel to all federal agencies involved in the admission, regulation, and removal of aliens under our immigration and nationality statutes, as well as related areas of border enforcement and national security.
TORTS BRANCH The Torts Branch represents the interests of the United States, including its officers and agents, in suits where monetary judgments are sought for damages resulting from negligent or wrongful acts. The Branch also handles actions involving injury or damage to government property. The attorneys employed by the Torts Branch are divided among four different sections: Aviation and Admiralty Litigation; Federal Tort Claims Act Litigation; Environmental Tort Litigation; and Constitutional and Specialized Tort Litigation.
