Seven locations seeking to hire paid interns. Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Cleveland, Dallas and Seattle. This position is being filled under the Pathways Internship Program that is designed to attract students with paid opportunities to work in agencies and explore Federal careers while still in school.

We are looking for highly motivated law students with an interest in working with the following regions on consumer protection matters: East Central Region (Cleveland), Midwest Region (Chicago), Northeast Region (New York), Northwest Region (Seattle), Southeast Region (Atlanta), Southwest Region (Dallas), Western Region (Los Angeles).
Duties
We offer substantive legal work that gives interns an opportunity to demonstrate their writing, analytical, and advocacy skills. The small size of the program enables interns to be fully integrated onto investigative teams and take on meaningful assignments with significant responsibility. Assignments may include: drafting pleadings, discovery requests and responses; appearing at hearings and depositions with Bureau of Consumer Protection attorneys; attending meetings with parties and their outside counsel; leading interview calls and summarizing findings through written reports; reviewing documents; and researching a wide range of legal issues.
