Selected Employers

Virtually every federal, state and local government agency has a General Counsel's Office that hires law students for academic year externships/internships and summer internships.  For these and additional opportunities with state and local government, go to the locale's website and research agencies (e.g., www.nyc.gov or http://www.dc.gov/).
