We have both a Criminal Division and a Civil Division and approximately 70 Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs).

Job Description:

We accept up to six law students for our summer law clerk program. The program lasts a minimum of eight weeks, with a preference for a ten-week commitment.

Each summer clerk has a designated mentoring attorney who assists and supports the clerk consistently throughout the summer.

The program also provides opportunities for law clerks to meet with a variety of speakers from the federal legal system. In past years, speakers have included federal judges, public defenders, law enforcement agents, United States Marshals, and probation officers. We also host sessions with AUSAs regarding career paths, judicial clerkships, and interview skills. We regularly include opportunities to meet with and learn from our federal partners. Some examples of past opportunities include:

  • A visit with military Judge Advocates (JAG Corps) and tour of military facilities.
  • A day of training in search warrant execution and takedowns.
  • DEA force training.
  • A meeting with tribal prosecutors and investigators in one of the District’s 25 federally recognized tribes.
  • A tour of the courthouse lock-up facilities.

  • Must meet DOJ residency requirements. (Must have lived in the United States for three of the last five years. Must be cumulative. Does not have to be consecutive).

Before any offer is finalized, law clerks must pass a background investigation, which includes fingerprinting, a credit check, and completing a security questionnaire.
