Summer Legal Internship Program 1L

Profile

Summer Legal Internship Program, 1L
The intern will be placed in the Mergers I division that investigates potentially anticompetitive conduct in the context of mergers and acquisitions. The internship provides law students with meaningful work experience in the field of antitrust enforcement. Students get the opportunity to work closely with attorneys, economists, and other investigative staff on actual law enforcement investigations and federal court litigations. Interns can expect to learn the fundamentals of antitrust law through substantive assignments on a wide range of issues. Assignments may include: drafting pleadings, discovery requests and responses; attending court, hearings and depositions with Bureau of Competition attorneys; attending meetings with outside counsel; leading interview calls and summarizing findings through written reports; reviewing documents; and researching a wide range of legal issues. The type of work given to summer law clerks is similar in complexity to assignments given to junior attorneys. In the first week of June, interns participate in a day-long training session to orient with the Bureau and the work of each of the divisions. Should demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, writing skills, leadership, and involvement in law schools and communities.

Application Period: December 1, 2020 to February 1, 2021.
