About the Office:

The work of the Civil Division mirrors the varied activities of the federal government and offers perhaps the most challenging and diverse caseload of any law office, public or private, in the country. Civil Division Assistant United States Attorneys handle a wide variety of defensive and affirmative civil cases at both the trial and appellate level. Defensive cases include immigration litigation; tort and employment discrimination litigation; environmental, civil rights and novel constitutional claims; challenges to administrative or regulatory actions; bankruptcy cases; and suits involving land in which the federal government has an interest. Affirmative cases include matters that involve the False Claims Act, health care fraud, and defense procurement fraud. The clerks selected for Civil Division assignments will assist primarily with defensive civil cases and will have an opportunity to perfect their research and writing skills in a myriad of ways.

  1. research legal issues in active cases;

  4. assist with trial preparation, evidence review, and witness interviews;
  5. observe hearings, settlement conferences, mediation, depositions, and trials; and

Clerks will be given assignments in as many different practice areas and with as many different attorneys as possible, providing exposure to several subject matters and styles of practice.

Additionally, interested individuals participating in the Summer Clerkship Program will have the opportunity to tour our federal courthouse and a federal prison. Clerkship opportunities in the Criminal Division are in an adjacent announcement.

Qualifications:

First, second, or third year of law school. Must be a U.S. citizen. Strong grades and excellent research and writing skills. A background check (covering criminal and financial history, among other things) is required because of the sensitive nature of the work performed by the United States Attorney’s Office.
