Student Internships
Take advantage of Graduate and Undergraduate Student Internship Opportunities at the Section of Dispute Resolution office in Washington, D.C. Interns focus on ADR research into emerging critical issues under the supervision of the Dispute Resolution Section staff, conduct needs assessment and systems design for dispute resolution in specific practice areas or institutions, and make site visits to local programs such as the D.C. Court's Multi-Door Program.
Student interns conduct research and contribute to a number of ongoing projects in the dispute resolution field. Former interns have written papers on a variety of subjects including the use of ADR in environmental land use disputes and the use of mediation under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act. Interns have also participated in ongoing Section projects including the Directory of Law School ADR Courses and Programs, the State and Local Bar Alternative Dispute Resolution Survey, and the National ADR Resource Center.
In addition, interns have the opportunity to shadow local dispute resolution practitioners, meet with experts in the field, and gain practical experience in the heart of Washington, D.C.
