DOJ Application Deadlines Today: Honors Program and Summer Law Intern Program (SLIP)
By: Steve Grumm
Two important Department of Justice application deadlines are today:
- The Attorney General’s Honors Program: the Attorney General’s Honors Program is Justice’s competitive, centralized recruitment program that is the only way for new attorneys (i.e., third-year law students and students who enter judicial clerkships, graduate law programs, or qualifying fellowships within 9 months of law school graduation) to enter Justice in an attorney position.
- The Summer Law Intern Program (SLIP) – law students who have completed at least one full semester of legal study by the application deadline are eligible to apply. Most successful applicants intern the summer between their second and third year of law school; however, graduating law students who will enter a judicial clerkship or a full-time graduate law program may intern following graduation. Part-time law students are also eligible to apply. All applicants should review eligibility rules.
