The Attorney General's Honors Program
Each fall, the Department hires law students for entry-level attorney
positions following graduation through the Attorney General's Honors
Program. Visit Entry-Level Attorneys (The
Attorney General's Honors Program) for details.
Legal Internships
The Department offers extensive legal internship programs to law students
with challenging opportunities in Washington, D.C. and in cities across
America for positions during the summer and throughout the academic
year.
The Summer Law Intern Program (SLIP) is
the Department's competitive recruitment program for compensated summer
internships.
Through Volunteer Legal Intern
Recruitment, the Department selects approximately 1800 volunteer interns each year. Approximately 800 interns volunteer during the academic year, with approximately 1000 volunteer internships offered during the summer. These positions are without compensation but are highly sought after because of the responsibility and experience they offer. A significant number of volunteer internships are with the 94 U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Department offices located in Washington D.C.. There are also opportunities with the 55 Immigration Courts (58 by the end of September 2008), the 95 U.S. Trustees' Offices and other Department field offices nationwide.
Some volunteer internships qualify either for course credit or as part
of a law school's work-study program. Interested students can contact
their law schools for specific requirements. There are a very limited
number of paid part-time positions.
