DOT internship
Internship in Washington, DC for Displaced Law Students
The U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General (OIG) would like to help law students displaced by Hurricane Katrina by providing internships with its Office of Legal, Legislative, and External Affairs in Washington, DC. We are a relatively small legal office, but could accommodate 2 law students for the fall semester.
OIG has a history of employing law students in our office for pay or for academic credit (if granted by your institution). We typically hire local law students, but given the terrible effects of Hurricane Katrina, we would like to extend this opportunity to displaced law students first.
We encourage interested law students from affected law schools, including but not limited to those who have been admitted on an emergency basis by DC-area law schools, to contact us. We understand that many of you may not have your files with you, but under Federal regulations, we will need some proof of enrollment at an accredited institution (and the dates of enrollment) in order to hire students.
