SUMMER LAW INTERN PROGRAM

The Summer Law Intern Program (SLIP) is the Department's recruitment program for compensated summer internships. The SLIP is highly competitive; the Department reviews many elements of a candidate's background before selecting him or her for employment, including: academic achievement, law review experience, moot court competition, legal aid and clinical experience, specialized academic studies (including undergraduate and post-graduate degrees), work experience and extracurricular activities that directly relate to the work of the Department. The majority of the students applying for summer internships are in their second year of law school. Graduating law students are eligible for a summer internship before entering a judicial clerkship or full-time graduate law program. The U.S. Attorneys' Offices do not hire summer interns through the SLIP.
