Department
of Justice (DOJ) Internships
The Summer
Law Intern Program (SLIP) is the Department's competitive recruitment
program for compensated summer internships. Selection for employment
is based on many elements of a candidate's background including
academic achievement, law review or moot court experience, legal
aid and clinical experience, and summer or part-time legal employment.
The Department
also considers specialized academic studies (including undergraduate
and post-graduate degrees), work experience, and extracurricular
activities that directly relate to the work of the Department.
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, the 52 Immigration Courts, and other Department field
offices nationwide. The remaining internships are with Department
offices located in Washington, D.C.
