Law Enforcement: Protecting Competition in the American Economy

[agency logo]

The Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice works in the public interest to promote a competitive and productive American economy. Its work involves the entire spectrum of American businesses. The Division's merger and civil enforcement cases can affect the structure and performance of an entire industry, and its criminal prosecutions target white-collar antitrust crimes that disadvantage honest businesses and rob American consumers.

The Antitrust Division offers law students the opportunity to work on diverse, high profile and interesting cases. The Division's law interns gain practical experience in civil and/or criminal statutes that prohibit conspiracies in restraint of trade, monopolization and anticompetitive mergers, as well as in general legal research and writing. Other students have the opportunity to perform paralegal, research analyst, clerical, and administrative work that supports the Division's mission.

The Antitrust Division employs students through the following programs: the Attorney General's Summer Law Intern Program, the Legal Intern Program, and the Student Educational Employment Program.

The Attorney General's Summer Law Intern Program provides paid internships to students who have completed at least one semester of law school, are entering their second year of law school, or are graduating from law school and will enter a judicial clerkship, or a full-time graduate law program. The application deadline is typically the last Friday in September each year.

The Legal Intern Program provides unpaid internships during the summer and/or the academic year. There are three types of legal internships available: volunteer, work-study, and part-time. There is no application deadline; applications are accepted at any time.

The Student Educational Employment Program has two components: student temporary employment and student career experience. These programs provide paid work experience to high school, vocational and technical, associate degree, baccalaureate degree, graduate degree, and professional degree students on a part-time basis. There is no application deadline; applications are accepted at any time.
