VOLUNTEER / INTERNSHIPS
The Office of Immigration Litigation offers unpaid internships for law students year-round. Interns are assigned to one of OIL'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 review of administrative records, conduct various research projects, and draft appellate briefs, as time permits. 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), as well as social activities and softball games.
Interested applicants should send a resume, transcript and writing sample to Stacy Paddack, Office of Immigration Litigation, P.O. Box 878 , Ben Franklin Station, Washington , DC 20044 . Applicants who are offered positions will be required to undergo a criminal background and fingerprint check, as well as a credit check.
