PARALEGAL TRAINEE POSITION
OVERVIEW: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of the Chief Counsel, located at FDA’s White Oak Campus in Silver Spring, Maryland, is currently seeking recent or soon-to-be college graduates to fill paralegal trainee positions in the Office. We are especially interested in individuals with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher and who are enrolled in or planning to enroll in a paralegal degree or certificate program and who are interested in exploring a career in a legal environment. No other federal agency touches the daily life of citizens as directly as the FDA. In regulating about 25 percent of the United States consumer economy, the FDA is responsible for the safety and effectiveness of two trillion dollars' worth of products a year - including items as diverse as artificial hearts, surgical lasers, gene therapy, dialysis machine, cloned animals, genetically engineered foods, counterterrorism products, and drug produced using nanotechnology techniques.
