<b>Location:</b><br>
601 D Street NW
<br>Washington, DC 20530 - United States
<br>About the Office
<br><br>
The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia is distinct among U. S. Attorney's Offices due to the breadth and scale of its work. It acts as both the local and the federal prosecutor for the nation's capital. Locally, it handles cases ranging from misdemeanor drug possession to murders, while federally, it handles cases ranging from child pornography to gangs, financial fraud, and terrorism. The Office also represents the district in civil suits.
<br><br>
Job Description
<br><br>
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia is unique in the size and the scope of its work. It serves as both the local and the federal prosecutor for the nation's capital. On the local side, AUSAs assigned to the Superior Court Division prosecute cases in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia ranging from misdemeanors to homicides, and appeals of those convictions are argued in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals (DCCA). On the federal side, AUSAs assigned to the Criminal Division prosecute federal crimes in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and appeals of those convictions are argued in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. AUSAs assigned to the Appellate Division argue the direct appeals of all criminal convictions in both the local and federal Courts of Appeal. AUSAs in the Special Proceedings Division handle post-trial litigation involving habeas claims, record sealing, and other requests for extraordinary relief in the trial courts. The Civil Division further defends the United States in civil suits brought in the District of Columbia.
<br><br>
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia is seeking second and third year law students for our unpaid Spring Internship Program from January 12, 2026 through April 30, 2026.
<br><br>
Law Student Interns will be responsible for drafting various legal documents such as responsive motions, dispositive motions, memoranda of law, and appellate briefs. They will also gain familiarity with the Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, the local rules of practice for the District of Columbia Court, and the local and Federal rules of Appellate Procedure. Interns may also attend dispositions and meetings with agents and accompany attorneys to observe court proceedings. Responsibilities increase and assignments become more complex as training and experience progress. This internship experience provides unique exposure to the inner workings of the criminal justice system and participants receive invaluable mentorship from some of the nation's best litigators.
