I. PURPOSE

The purpose of Attorney General McDaniel’s Internship Program is to provide college students with an opportunity to gain valuable, real-world experience while working in the Attorney General’s Office. The program assists interns in learning about law and state government processes, developing writing skills, and improving verbal communication skills. The program provides interns with work experience in a professional environment; interns are not paid. Some interns may be able to arrange for college credit for their internship, depending upon the requirements of their college or university.

II. APPLICATION

An intern candidate will normally be a college student or recent graduate. The candidate should complete an Intern Application for the Office of Attorney General and submit to the Intern Selection Committee as indicated on the application.

The deadline for receipt of applications for summer internships is April 30. The deadline for fall internships is July 30. The deadline for spring internships is December 15. Please note that we make decisions on a rolling basis; thus, it is advisable to apply as soon as you know that you are interested in seeking an intern position. We can only accommodate a limited number of interns at any given time; if you wait until the deadline to apply there is no guarantee that an intern position will still be available.

III. SELECTION

The Selection Committee is made up of the Attorney General, Chief Deputy, Chief of Staff, and Intern Coordinator. Once you have submitted your complete packet they will be reviewed by the Committee. If there are multiple qualified applicants for an intern position an interview may also be scheduled. Applicants will be notified by telephone or by mail if an interview is required. At the conclusion of the process, applicants will be notified in writing of the decision of the Selection Committee.

IV. PROCEDURE

Interns will ordinarily be assigned to one of the Departments or Divisions within the Attorney General's Office and work under the supervision of the Deputy Attorney General or other supervisor in that Department or Division. The Intern Coordinator will be the overall point of contact for interns regarding applications, work schedules, and general program requirements.
