"Interning
with the Consumer Protection Branch of the Department of Justice has
been unbelievably rewarding and fulfilling work. As a legal intern, I
have supported the trial attorneys at the branch with various
preparation activities and support services. I have been able to get an
inside look at the workings of the federal prosecution process, which
has led me to work toward a similar career in the future."
