to Legal Offices navigation Legal Internship Recruitment Internships offer law students the opportunity to work on a broad range of legal issues. An intern’s assignments may include research and analysis of legal decisions, opinions, rulings and statutes; drafting legal memoranda on issues relating to the Department’s programs; case preparations for agency hearings and litigation before federal courts. In addition, interns are invited to participate in brown-bag lunches and other gatherings within OGC, so that they may obtain a broad overview of the legal issues that arise within the office. Highly qualified interns who demonstrate outstanding performance in their work may be considered for permanent attorney positions at the Department of Commerce as vacancies occur. Summer Legal Internships Although office staffing needs and funding availability varies from year to year, most offices within OGC actively participate in the summer legal intern program. To recruit high caliber law students for the summer internship program, the Office of the General Counsel participates in a number of regional law school job fairs across the country where attorney representatives interview interested law students for internships. Check with your law school career services office to see if OGC will be participating in a job fair near you. For those students unable to attend the regional job fairs, we encourage you to apply directly to the Office of the General Counsel. See OGC’s summer legal internship announcement for application information.
