OIL-Appellate Law Student Volunteer Internships

The Appellate Section offers unpaid internships for law students year-round. Interns are assigned to one of the Appellate Section’s litigation teams and work under the supervision of the team's Assistant Director and Senior Litigation Counsel. During the school year, interns may be assigned to draft motions for appellate cases, perform administrative records review, conduct various research projects, and draft appellate briefs. Schedules for school-year interns are flexible, but 15-20 hours per week is recommended. Summer interns, who work a minimum of 30 hours per week, will primarily draft appellate briefs, as well as perform the tasks of school-year interns. Summer interns also benefit from OIL's summer intern program, which includes visits and tours (such as a tour of the Board of Immigration Appeals and a tour of the Immigration Court in Arlington, VA), as well as social activities and softball games.

Students interested in a legal internship with OIL-Appellate should send a resume, transcript, and writing sample to:
