Law firms in other cities will sometimes hold receptions for first-year
students over Winter Break. The purpose of these receptions is for the
law firms to introduce themselves and get to know you for the future –
it does not necessarily mean they intend to hire any 1Ls for their 2013
summer class. You should view these receptions as networking
opportunities, and take advantage of any that are of interest to you.
The following is a list of firms that we know are hosting 1L receptions
over the break. Contact information included where provided by the
firm....click on the headline above for more information.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is now accepting applications for its 1L Summer Honors program for Summer 2013.
Jobs are available in Washington DC and 10 regional offices. We have high expectations for our interns, often assigning them the same work we would give a newly-hired staff attorney who had completed law school. Students assist with tasks such as drafting regulations, reviewing filings, or preparing for interviews and testimony. They spend hours every day with line attorneys, and they support senior executives.
The Summer Honors program is highly-competitive. We hire as few as 10% of the students who apply, and we limit the size of the program so that students receive substantive work. But we encourage applications from a range of students, including those with an interest or experience in securities, compliance, financial regulation, investigations and law enforcement. Most first-year legal interns from past programs have gone on to work their second summer at law firms. Many pursue jobs that relate to securities, finance or related industries, but others have pursued other specialties while still using the skills that they learned at the SEC.

Human Rights Watch, Americas Division
Washington, DC Office -- Spring 2013
The student will intern with staff by conducting research, responding to inquiries, and monitoring current events in Latin America. The internship will primarily entail performing research and writing assignments. It may also entail database and file management, mission support, and some translation assignments.
The internship is unpaid. Students are often able to arrange academic credit, as HRW internships often offer direct exposure to the workings of an international human rights organization, close supervision by the HRW staff, interaction with other U.S. and international organizations and foreign and domestic government officials, and opportunities to attend lectures, trainings, and special events relating to human rights.
