VOLUNTEER INTERNSHIPS The Office of Immigration Litigation offers unpaid internships for law students year-round. Interns are assigned to one of OIL's 7 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 or district court 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 full time, will primarily draft appellate briefs as well as perform the tasks of school year interns. Summer interns also benefit from a comprehensive intern program, which includes client visits (such as a tour of Dulles Airport Inspections, a tour of the Board of Immigration Appeals, and a visit to Immigration Court in Arlington) as well as social activities and softball games. Interested applicants should send a resume and writing sample to Deputy Director, Office of Immigration Litigation, Civil Division, U.S. Department of Justice, P.O. Box 878 Ben Franklin Station, Washington DC 20044. Applicants who are offered positions will be required to undergo a background investigation.
