Summer Legal Intern Program
The Summer Legal Intern Program is available primarily to second-year law students at American Bar Association accredited law schools. The program provides exposure to the Office of Chief Counsel by enabling law students to work for the Office under the supervision, and with the assistance of, experienced tax lawyers (or personnel and labor attorneys in our General Legal Services Division). The training and work experience helps prepare interns for a career as a tax lawyer and also provides an excellent view of what the practice of law is like at the Office of Chief Counsel. In the National Office, interns take part in a variety of training, educational and social events, as well as interagency tours and presentations. Offers of full-time employment may be made to summer interns at the conclusion of the program. Summer positions are available to second year law students at the GS-9, Step 1 level. Positions are available in our offices nationwide.
