  The Georgia Attorney General's office offers a summer internship for rising third year law students who are currently enrolled in an accredited law school. The program generally runs from the first week in June through the second week in August. Typically, one intern is assigned to each of the legal divisions/sections. The Divisions/Sections/Units are as follows:
  Each intern will receive a $3000.00 stipend for the summer internship program.
  This Division includes the following Sections: Public Safety, Post Conviction Litigation and Capital Litigation. Interns assist in preparing pleadings in federal and state court in habeas corpus cases, direct appeal briefs in murder cases and civil litigation with respect to public safety/law enforcement clients as it arises. Interns also do research for cases or issues as they arise - whether in relation to legislation or litigation or general client advice. Interns also have the opportunity to attend board meetings and client meetings as well as various types of court proceedings.

  Consumer Protecton Unit
  The "CPU" of the Georgia Attorney General's Office enforces the Fair Business Practices Act, as well as many of our State's other consumer protection laws. Under the Attorney General's authority, we actively work to protect consumers and legitimate businesses from unfair or deceptive acts and practices in the marketplace. Interns will work closely with the Staff Attorneys in all aspects of the work of CPU's Legal Division. Legal research and writing (briefs, memoranda), drafting legal documents (Subpoenas, Investigative Demands, Notices of Contemplated Legal Action), drafting settlement agreements, and consumer contact are just some of the daily tasks and responsibilities. There's no typical day, and while our interns work hard, they're never bored. Not only will you gain solid, real-world working experience, you'll be a much more informed consumer at the conclusion of your internship with us!
  The primary goal of our internship program is to give law students a hands-on opportunity to experience a unique public law practice. In addition to "real life" lawyering experiences, interns will also have the opportunity to attend out of office events. These events may include prison tours and tours of the Public Safety Training Center and the Georgia Crime Lab.
