The Office of Public Affairs is the principle point of contact between the Department of Justice and the public and news media. The office handles the press affairs of the United States Attorney General and advises the Attorney General and other DOJ officials on all aspects of media relations and communications issues. Four interns are selected each semester (including the summer) to assist in the office. The interns should be college juniors or seniors with an interest in public policy, journalism, communications, or political science.

Interns assist with a variety of projects and attend the Attorney General's weekly press meetings. Projects include compiling and updating media lists, assisting with press releases, answering media requests, and research. The office provides a unique look into the benefits of public service, as well as the opportunity to work with members of the press and share in their experiences. Those interested in applying should contact the Intern Coordinator at 202-514-2008.
