DOJ Internship- level of competitiveness?
Anyone who had a DOJ Internship or knows someone who has had one- what grades/ work experience are they looking for? Not sure how many people they turn down but here that it's very competitive. Anyone know?

DOJ is big. What part of DOJ? And is it paid?

Summer or semester? Office? Geography? This question is not answerable without more information.

Generally, we look for decent grades (top third) and a solid writing sample. SLIP (which is a paid 2L summer internship) is a lot more competitive than volunteer internships (unpaid 1L summer internships and semester externships).

Re: DOJ Internship- level of competitiveness?
Hello Catinthewall! Thanks. I think I meet the grades criterion so hope that the writing sample and work experience are up to par! Is work experience a big part of the evaluation? I've had a bit, but unfortunately nothing law related. Is there anything particular that I could say that would distinguish me during the interview?catinthewall wrote:Generally, we look for decent grades (top third) and a solid writing sample.
