Summer Law Intern Program

ATF participates in the Department of Justice (DOJ) Summer Law Intern Program (SLIP), which offers unpaid volunteer summer law internship opportunities in Washington, D.C. SLIP is a competitive opportunity available for law students who are graduating or applying for their second year of law school.

Students may earn academic credit for these voluntary positions. Interested candidates are encouraged to verify academic credit requirements and policies with their respective law schools.
