With students encountering established career pathways to law firms, judicial clerkships, and executive branch honors programs, the Congressional Studies Program offers a first of its kind effort to provide students with another option\u2014an insider\u2019s view of careers in the Legislative Branch and the critical role that legislative lawyers play in our democracy.<\/p>\n
The Congressional Studies Program is also intended to help Congress itself. By training the next generation of legislative lawyers at the intersection of law and politics, the program helps create a pipeline of well-trained and highly-skilled attorneys who are dedicated to helping the Legislative Branch fulfill all of its increasingly complex and critical responsibilities under the Constitution. It also ensures that when Capitol Hill turns to Georgetown Law for its legal staffing needs, our graduates are ready to start contributing effectively and efficiently on Day One.<\/p>\n
