The Organization

The Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section (HRSP) of the U.S. Department of Justice investigates and prosecutes cases involving human rights violations, international criminal law, and complex immigration crimes. The HRSP sees its mission as a deep commitment to human rights as a domestic law enforcement imperative and as part of the international effort to end impunity for human rights violators. The HRSP investigates war crimes, torture, genocide, human trafficking, and other international crimes.

The Position

The HRSP seeks law student volunteers for the Spring semester to assist in the HRSP’s investigations. Student interns would conduct legal research culminating in written assignments on topics involving international, criminal, and immigration law. Second- and third-year law students as well as International Law LL.M. candidates are encouraged to apply. The ideal applicants will have experience or interest in criminal and international law.
