Hi guys,
Quick question. On my resume, I have listed two divisions that I work in-- Administrative law and criminal law. Should it say "Intern with Criminal and Administrative Law Division"-- OR "Intern with Criminal and Administrative Law Divisions" Thanks!

If they are two different divisions, then use DIVISIONS.
If it is one division that contains both types of law (which it doesn't sound like it is), then use DIVISION.

Divisions. Otherwise they'll assume the title of the division is "Criminal and Administrative Law." You worked in two, so pluralize it.
Might also be worth it to just put "Intern with Criminal Division and Administrative Law Division" if division is part of the full title as you refer to it during work.

No.
Only keep it if it is the specific name of a division within where he was working. So Dallas County Legal Department, Administrative Division. If it's just some generic group of wherever the job is, then it's not capitalized.

True, I assumed the former the way the OP wrote it.
