Civilian
Board of Contract Appeals
~
Judicial
Legal Intern Opportunity ~
The Civilian Board of Contract
Appeals on occasion permits law students to serve as legal
interns for judges. The Board is a judicial body within the
federal executive branch that conducts hearings and decides
cases concerning contracts between government agencies and
private companies. Our decisions are reported in
Board of Contract Appeals Decisions (CCH),
and appeals from our decisions are taken to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We also hear and
decide cases involving the Indian Self-Determination Act and the
Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, and settle claims
filed by companies which provide transportation services to the
government and claims filed by government employees regarding
expenses of official travel and relocation to new duty stations.
Legal interns assist Board judges by
conducting legal research, drafting legal memoranda, preparing
analyses of facts, assisting in the preparation of orders and
decisions, and attending hearings.
These internships are unpaid positions
and there is no possibility that an intern will be paid for his
or her work.
An intern must receive academic credit for
the internship except during the summer. There are no
exceptions to this requirement.
Interns are required to work a minimum
of 15 hours per week.
Interns must be able to use Westlaw
and WordPerfect.
Applicants should send a law school
transcript, a resume, and a cover letter to:
Judge Jerome M. Drummond

An applicant should state
in the cover letter whether he or she is available for the fall, summer, or spring
semester. If an applicant’s transcript does not reflect
the most recent semester’s grades, include those grades in the cover letter. We accept applications at any time.
