Public Interest Opportunity of the Week – United States Attorney, Southern District of Texas


The United States Attorney’s Office is seeking second- and third-year law students for Spring 2014 Internships. Their internship program provides participants with supervised and direct responsibility for criminal, civil, appellate, and post-appellate litigation. This includes conducting research and writing assignments, assisting attorneys with trial and witness preparation, participating in moot courts prior to appellate oral arguments, attendance at depositions, medications, and trials, and much more.

Interns are expected to work a minimum of 10 hours per week, beginning in early February and ending by the end of May. The position is unpaid, but participants would be eligible to receive course credit through the Externship Program.

Applications are due by November 1, 2013. Students should send a cover letter, resume, shorting sample (10 page maximum), and unofficial transcript via email to interns.usatxs@usdoj.gov.
