Title: Undergraduate Intern (4 Open Positions) 
Hours: 24 hours per week
Pay: Credit  

The Department of Justice’s Consumer Protection Branch (CPB) is responsible for enforcing most of the Federal statutes that protect consumers from deceptive, unfair, or fraudulent practices.  Many of these laws provide for both civil and criminal penalties. We offer a few unpaid/volunteer internships for undergraduate students during the spring semester.
 
Responsibilities: 
 – Support of the Branch’s attorneys and paralegals.
 – Conducting factual research for the Branch’s cases,
 – Reviewing documents to identify evidence of fraudulent activity or victims of fraud
 – Summarizing transcripts and other court records.

In addition, the Branch’s attorneys give weekly brown-bag lunch presentations to the interns about particular cases or investigations. When the Supreme Court is in session, reserved seating may be obtained for each intern to observe an entire argument.  Interns are also encouraged to attend scheduled seminars, tours, and lectures, as space allows, that provide them a broad overview of the legal system. As such, interns who work at CPB can expect to have an experience that is both productive and educational.

Requirements:
 – Must be available to work 3 full days per week (24 hours)
 – Students must have a GPA of 3.3 or higher

 To Apply:
Please send a cover letter, updated resume, and unofficial transcript via email to Joshua.Rothman@usdoj.gov. Applications are due by November 15, 2013.
