Everything You Need to Know About Government Honors Attorney Programs

For the Class of 2017: Entry-level attorney positions in government (the federal government especially) can be tough to come by. One major exception: government honors programs. Each year, many government departments recruit and hire for a limited number of openings reserved for recent graduates. Competition for these programs is often intense, but grades are only one part of what the agencies usually look for. Commitment to working in government, subject-matter expertise and/or experience, and long-term potential are all important factors, so everyone interested is encouraged to apply.

Hiring for government honors positions varies by agency, but are frequently quite early. Some deadlines have passed already, but many others are yet to come. We strongly encourage students to peruse honors program listings ASAP, so you don't miss out on great opportunities! It's easy. You can find extensive listings for government honors programs (including federal, state and local), broken out for you by agency and by deadline, here: http://arizonahandbooks.com/u/ucdlaw. Please contact Career Services for the password.

Here are a few examples of upcoming opportunities:

United States Copyright Office, Barbara Ringer Honors Copyright Program: http://www.copyright.gov/about/special-programs/internships.html DEADLINE TO APPLY: October 17, 2016

California Department of Justice, Attorney General's Honors Program: http://oag.ca.gov/careers/honors/introduction DEADLINE TO APPLY: October 17, 2016

Colorado Attorney General's Fellowship Program http://www.coloradoattorneygeneral.gov/employment/fellowships DEADLINE TO APPLY: November 18, 2016

For the Class of 2018: Many government agencies offer summer "honors" internships to law students for their second summer, but hiring generally starts early: late summer and early fall of the preceding year. Some deadlines have passed, many are rolling (so apply ASAP!) and a few still remain. If you'd like to work for a federal, state or local government agency during summer 2017, we strongly encourage you to begin perusing listings and applying right away. You can find those listings broken out for you by deadline and agency, here: http://arizonahandbooks.com/u/ucdlaw. Please contact Career Services for the password.
