Law Student Volunteer, Spring 2025, Public Integrity Section

Job Location: Washington, DC

About the Office:

The Public Integrity Section (PIN) oversees the investigation and prosecution of all federal crimes affecting government integrity, including bribery of public officials, election crimes, and other related offenses. PIN investigates and prosecutes some of the most sensitive, complex, and contentious public corruption cases handled by the Department, including cases involving elected and appointed officials at all levels of government. PIN also serves as a source of advice and expertise for federal prosecutors and agents regarding the handling of public corruption cases nationwide and plays a key role in developing Department policy concerning public corruption and election crime investigations and prosecutions. PIN handles cases in districts across the country, either on its own or in partnership with the local U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The Election Crimes Branch within the Section supervises the Department’s nationwide response to election crimes, such as voter fraud and campaign-finance offenses. The Director of the Election Crimes Branch reviews all major election crime investigations throughout the country and all proposed criminal charges relating to election crimes.

The Section is comprised of attorneys with a wealth of prosecution experience at the federal and state level, as well as other experience in all three branches of federal government. PIN alumni have served in a range of important posts in the federal legal system, including as Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, federal judges, U.S. Attorneys, and various other leadership positions in the Department, U.S. Attorney’s Offices, and other federal agencies.

Job Description:

Legal interns work closely with PIN trial attorneys on a range of investigative and litigation issues related to PIN’s efforts to combat public corruption. Interns research complex legal questions, draft motions and responses, assist with appeals, conduct factual analysis, and update PIN’s internal resources. Assignments often touch upon substantive criminal law (relating primarily to bribery and fraud), evidence, the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, constitutional criminal procedure, and election law. Legal interns work on a variety of projects during their internships and typically produce significant written work product. Interns are offered opportunities to observe witness interviews, meetings with attorneys and agents, trials, hearings, and other proceedings. Interning for PIN is an intensive but rewarding experience that has been invaluable for prior interns, many of whom have clerked after graduation for federal district and circuit court judges, been accepted into the Honors Program, or joined a U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Qualifications:

All applicants must be currently enrolled in law school and have a strong academic background, excellent research and writing skills, mature judgment, an openness to learning, and a commitment to public service. Applicants should recognize and be committed to the non-partisan nature of the Public Integrity Section’s work.

Summer interns work full-time (40 hours a week) for at least 10 weeks. Fall and spring semester intern usually work part-time (16-20 hours a week) throughout the semester (10-12 weeks), although we have worked with law schools that permit full-time work in exchange for credit. Interns must reside in the Washington, D.C. area during their internship, though hybrid work is allowed. Applicants should specify in their cover letter the term or terms for which they would like to be considered. If applying for a spring or fall internship, applicants should also identify whether they are available full-time or part-time.

Because of the sensitive nature of PIN’s work, all offers are contingent upon the satisfactory completion of a background investigation.

Volunteer Legal Internship

Job Location: Washington, D.C./Dallas, TX

About the Office:

The Tax Division seeks to engage volunteer law student interns during the spring semester for its Appellate Section, Civil Trial Sections, Financial Litigation Unit (FLU), and Criminal Enforcement Sections.

The Appellate Section, Civil Trial Sections, and the FLU handle civil cases presenting a variety of legal issues involving federal tax law, bankruptcy law, constitutional law, property law, and commercial law, as well as the panoply of evidentiary, procedural, and jurisdictional issues that are the staple of any civil litigation docket. The Tax Division’s Appellate Section handles appeals of civil cases and U.S. Tax Court cases in the U.S. Courts of Appeals and participates with the Office of the Solicitor General in proceedings before the Supreme Court. The six regional Civil Trial Sections handle litigation in the United States District Courts and Bankruptcy Courts nationwide, and the seventh civil section – the Court of Federal Claims Section – defends all tax suits filed in the United States Court of Federal Claims. The FLU handles post-judgment litigation in U.S. District Courts (and occasionally in Bankruptcy Courts) to collect money judgments obtained by the Civil Trial Sections.

The Tax Division’s three Criminal Enforcement Sections are responsible for authorizing all federal criminal tax prosecutions throughout the United States. The Sections investigate and prosecute individuals and corporations that attempt to evade taxes, willfully fail to file tax returns, submit false tax forms, and otherwise attempt to defraud the government.

For more information about the Tax Division’s offices and the cases they handle, please see our website at http://www.justice.gov/tax/about-division.

Job Description:

The Tax Division provides a valuable internship experience by attempting to ensure that legal interns assist in as many aspects of the Division’s work as possible, and that interns are provided written or oral feedback on their assignments.

Interns are usually assigned to a section for the semester and work closely with that section’s attorneys on a wide range of issues, to the extent allowed by law. Interns are frequently asked to research legal issues that arise in pending cases. They may also be asked to prepare legal memoranda or draft pleadings, briefs, motions, and other legal documents.

Interns may assist with discovery, including drafting interrogatories, document requests, and subpoenas. Interns may have the opportunity to help attorneys prepare for arguments, trials, and hearings, and may have the opportunity to attend and observe those that are local.

Interns will be expected to work approximately 10-12 weeks during the semester, for a minimum of 15 hours per week. It is anticipated that most interns will be attending classes during the semester and will therefore be working a part-time schedule; however, the sections will attempt to accommodate requests for full-time internships.

Qualifications:

The Division seeks law students with a strong academic record and excellent legal research and writing skills. Interns must be able to grasp issues quickly, conduct thorough and accurate research, and write clearly, concisely, and persuasively.

Candidates must hold full or dual United States citizenship, and have resided in the United States for three of the past five years. Because of the sensitive nature of the work, candidates receiving offers must undergo a background investigation.

Salary:

The positions are uncompensated; however, work-study credit may be available. Transit subsidies are available for qualified interns.

Application Process:

Please submit a resume, writing sample, and law school transcripts (official or unofficial) with a cover letter via email to Intern Coordinator at [email protected]. We prefer that all of the candidate’s materials be attached as a single PDF file named after the candidate and the order of the documents in the file as follows:

1) cover letter,

2) resume,

3) law school transcript, and

4) writing sample.

Applications should be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern) November 1 for the spring semester. The Tax Division will review applications and extend offers on a rolling basis. The hiring process may conclude before the November 1 deadline.

Most positions are on-site in Washington, DC. Some may be on-site in our Civil Trial Section, Southwestern Region, in Dallas, TX. Please indicate in your email which office (or both) you are applying to. In addition, we may offer a small number of fully remote internships. If you are only seeking a remote internship, please state that in your email.

If you have any questions about this or any of the Tax Division’s other hiring programs, please call (202) 305-3254 or email [email protected].
