Summer 2019 Internship: House Judiciary Committee Republican Office

Hello, school staff and contacts,

My name is John Manning and I am the Intern Coordinator for the House Judiciary Committee Republican Office on Capitol Hill. We are currently looking for interested students that would like to intern for the Committee over Summer 2019. The internship is flexible with scheduling in terms of weekly calendar and overall date window, and it offers invaluable work experience to undergrad and law students alike interested in law and a future in public service. Committee internship positions are unpaid.

-Regarding undergraduate students – we accept 2-4 interns year-round to work in our office (depending on the students’ schedules and how often they can come in on a weekly basis). These interns’ duties include: the coordination and oversight of all Committee proceedings; manning of the front lobby of a highly-trafficked Hill office; legislative research; DOD and DOS liaison work; reviewing and drafting of memos and literature; and tending to other special projects assigned by the staff. The undergraduate interns are assigned to our main office, and they get to work and coordinate regularly with the Subcommittee offices.

-Regarding law students – we accept around 4-6 legal interns year-round to work out of the Committee’s Subcommittee offices (1-2 students per subcommittee; and again, depending on the students’ schedules and how often they can come in on a weekly basis). These interns’ duties include: conducting research on legislation assigned to the office; drafting and editing of Judiciary literature; coordination of Committee proceedings; and, ultimately taking on a lawyer-level projects alongside the small 2-4 person staffs of Subcommittee offices. The law student interns are assigned to one Subcommittee office for the duration of the internship.
