Opportunities with the U.S. Department of Justice
The CSO recently received an email from the Department of Justice introducing some important changes to their Attorney General’s Honors Program and Summer Law Intern Program for 2008-2009. The text of their message follows:
There are exciting new developments in the Attorney General’s Honors Program and Summer Law Intern Program! Highlights include:
• An earlier application deadline and a faster review and selection process. The applications open on July 25th and close on September 2nd, 2008 (12:00 midnight Eastern time).
• Four United States Attorneys’ Offices (USAOs) and the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys (EOUSA) are hiring approximately 16 entry-level attorneys through the Honors Program. Due to the level of responsibility held by AUSAs, these opportunities are only available to applicants who are admitted to a bar or, in some cases, who have taken a summer 2008 bar examination with results due in fall 2008. Participating USAOs are:
o The Central District of California, Los Angeles, CA
o The Southern District of California, San Diego, CA
o The Western District of Michigan, Grand Rapids, MI
o The Middle District of Florida, Orlando, FL
o EOUSA, Washington, D.C., with possible assignments nationwide
• The USAO for the District of Wyoming is participating in the Summer Law Intern Program and offering a position in either Cheyenne, WY, or in Yellowstone National park.
• The Honors Program application has been expanded to permit applicants serving in post-J.D. legal fellowships to apply online on a conditional basis.
