About the Office

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Alaska represents the United States and its agencies in civil and criminal litigation before the United States District Court for the District of Alaska and on appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Criminal Division is responsible for prosecuting all federal crimes ranging from acts of terrorism to public corruption, white-collar crime, gang and gun crimes, and internet-related crimes. Through its Civil Division, the Office is charged with defending agencies of the United States, enforcing regulatory agencies' authority, and recovering funds from violators of U.S. criminal, regulatory, and civil laws.

An internship with U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Alaska offers a unique and challenging experience to work in criminal prosecution or civil litigation in the Last Frontier. Assignments include, but are not limited to, drafting responsive motions, dispositive motions, memoranda of law, and appellate briefs. Interns become familiar with the rules of evidence and either the Federal Rules of Civil or Criminal Procedure depending on placement with the Criminal or Civil Division. In addition, interns may attend depositions, meetings with agents, and accompany attorneys to observe court proceedings. By local rule, law students in their second semester of their second year of law school, or law student in their third year of law school, have a unique opportunity to be approved to appear in court at hearings and participate in trials.

Job Description

Perform research projects and assist in discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation. To ensure that all interns finish the internship with a good writing sample, every intern will work under the guidance of an AUSA to prepare documents to be filed with the court. Interns will be given assignments with as many different attorneys as possible providing exposure to a wider variety of practice areas and professional contacts. We also have brown bag lunches at which AUSAs, the defense bar, the judiciary, and federal agents speak. Our goal is to introduce our interns to the federal legal system, to develop their legal skills and, and above all, to enjoy the Summer season in Alaska.

Internship Locations: Anchorage (3); Fairbanks (1); Juneau (1)
