Summer Law Intern Volunteer

Job Location: Arlington, VA

About the Office:

The Office of Chief Counsel provides legal services and guidance to all components of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in matters that arise in the conduct of DEA’s enforcement mission. Chief Counsel attorneys provide legal support to DEA Special Agents, Diversion Investigators, Intelligence Analysts, and other DEA employees by analyzing the legal implications involved in policy decisions, including the creation of cutting edge policies, programs, and enforcement operations; advising and training DEA personnel worldwide on criminal, civil, and regulatory issues; drafting and reviewing potential legislation and regulations impacting DEA’s authorities and operations; and representing DEA in civil and administrative litigation.

Job Description:

We expect our 2023 program to be in-person, with telework options possible, depending on the weekly intern program event calendar. Should that change, we will pivot to a fully online program, as necessary, as we did in both 2020 and 2021.

DEA’s Office of Chief Counsel strives to provide student interns with the opportunity to work closely with attorneys on cutting edge legal questions, meet with clients and agency stakeholders, and engage in meaningful work to allow a glimpse into real day-to-day government attorney work. Interns receive assignments from any practice area within Chief Counsel, filtered and managed through the Intern Program Director, while also working closely with an assigned attorney mentor. Assignments often arise from law and policy relating to domestic & foreign criminal programs & investigations, technology & privacy, intelligence, and asset forfeiture; civil litigation, diversion matters, standards of conduct, and legal training. Interns are expected to conduct research, draft memoranda, motions, and correspondence, create and give presentations, interact with agency officials, and perform other tasks as required. The program strives to assist interns in developing life skills as attorneys, building lasting relationships, and drafting at least one (and probably more) polished, releasable writing samples.

The program provides opportunities for summer interns to meet and interact with a variety of speakers from the federal legal and law enforcement system. Among other events, our summer legal interns annually highlight the Moot Court at Quantico, where they have the opportunity to try their skills as both prosecutor and defense attorney for the day with our Basic Agents Class, “Quantico Day,” where they participate in Use of Force and Special Response Team training with our Special Agents, and working with our chemists at the Clandestine and Special Testing Labs.

Qualifications:

Applicants must be currently enrolled in law school, have a strong academic background, excellent research and writing skills, experience with or a demonstrated interest in public service, and mature judgment. Applicant must be a U.S. citizen and will be subject to a security background investigation due to the sensitive nature of the work, including a drug use questionnaire.

This is a 10-week internship. The program begins on Monday, May 22nd and ends on Friday, July 28th; 40 hours per week. No split summers will be considered. Applicants should confirm availability for these dates in their cover letter.

NOTE: Applicants who are found, through investigation or personal admission, to have experimented with or used narcotics or dangerous drugs, except those medically prescribed, will not be considered for employment with DEA. Exceptions to this policy may be made for applicants who admit to limited youthful and experimental use of marijuana. Such applicants may be considered for employment if there is no evidence of regular, confirmed usage and the results of the other steps in the process are otherwise favorable. Compliance with this policy is an essential requirement of the position. All applicants must complete and submit the DEA Drug Questionnaire with their application package.

Salary:

Uncompensated; however, if your school offers interns academic credit or work study, we will work with you to meet school requirements whenever possible.

Travel:

None

Application Process:

Send a cover letter describing your interest in working with the DEA, resume, unofficial transcript, writing sample, and DEA Drug Questionnaire, via email, to [email protected], attention Holly Burch, Intern Program Director.
