Profile

The Honors Program, Fall 2017 The Program provides challenging professional opportunities for outstanding law school graduates. Program attorneys work in the Solicitor's Office either at the department's headquarters in Washington, DC, or a regional office, gaining exposure to a broad range of substantive legal work in one of the government's preeminent legal offices. The focus of the regional Honors Program is developing an attorney's skills as a trial litigator under all the statutes commonly enforced by the Department. Receiving guidance from experienced courtroom lawyers, a regional Honors Program attorney will typically carry a varied caseload from beginning to end: analyzing an investigative file, filing a complaint, engaging in negotiations and discovery, preparing briefs and arguing motions, and serving as lead counsel in cases that go to trial. Will receive select assignments from the national office divisions to complement their trial work or to expose them to practice areas usually handled by the national office. Funding permitting, the attorneys will travel to the national office in Washington, D.C. to participate with national office colleagues in training and networking opportunities. May also volunteer to rotate to the national office for a temporary assignment, usually lasting about three months. Should graduate from law school in Spring/Summer 2017 or be finishing a judicial clerkship or fellowship in time to start the Honors Program in September 2017. Application Deadline: October 7, 2016.
