Opportunity: Apply to the Semester in Washington Program

The 2013 Semester in Washington Program is now accepting applications! Students spend the entire Spring semester (except for Spring break) in Washington, D.C. working as legal interns in a variety of federal offices while taking an evening course on government lawyering. Placements are principally in federal government offices where lawyers conduct research and provide legal advice and assistance on policy, legislative or regulatory matters, rather than investigating and litigating cases.

Placements are coordinated by the clinic director, Jonathan Wroblewski, in consultation with students and the Office of Clinical and Pro Bono Programs.

To apply, submit the following information by Aug 17, 2012 via an online form:

1. Online Application
2. Statements of Interest
3. Current resume
4. Writing sample of no more than 10 pages
5. Academic transcript

For more information, review the information on the HLS website and on the Semester in Washington iSite.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the Office of Clinical and Pro Bono Programs (clinical@law.harvard.edu / 617.495.5202) or Jonathan Wroblewski (jwroblewski@law.harvard.edu) if you have any questions.

Good luck!
