Attorney General's Honors Programs

This highly competitive program is the only way that the Department of Justice authorizes Department components, including the Civil Rights Division (Division), to hire entry-level attorneys. Eligibility is generally limited to graduating law students and recent law school graduates who entered judicial clerkships, graduate law programs, or qualifying fellowships within nine months of law school graduation.

The Division has completed hiring for the 2013 Honors Program. The hiring process for the 2014 Honors Program will begin in September 2013. Information about that process and applicable deadlines is available on the Office of Attorney Recruitment and Management (OARM) website at http://www.justice.gov/careers/legal/entry.html.
