in its civil trial, appellate, and criminal enforcement sections.
Legal interns in the civil trial and appellate sections conduct legal research for pending trial
and appellate tax cases; prepare legal memoranda, pleadings, and briefs; and prepare trial and deposition exhibits and files.
Legal interns in the criminal enforcement sections work closely with federal prosecutors to research legal issues relevant to
pending criminal investigations, prosecutions, and appeals. Their work generally involves writing legal memoranda or briefs.
Interns also help attorneys prepare for trials by arranging exhibits and organizing case files.
Given the nature of the work and the high quality of its staff, the Division expects legal interns
to be able to grasp issues quickly, research thoroughly and accurately, and write clearly and concisely.
The Division attempts to ensure that legal interns assist in as many aspects of the Division's work as possible and are
provided written or oral feedback.
High School/College/Graduate School Student Opportunities:
