Senior Legal Intern (Office of General Counsel) [Juris Doctor Students]

The Office of the General Counsel for MassDOT and the MBTA is seeking interns for the upcoming term. Working with an attorney supervisor, interns will have the opportunity to develop their legal writing and research skills, gain substantive knowledge, and learn about the practice of law in the transportation, government, and in-house settings. While students will primarily work with one supervising attorney, there will be opportunities for interns to work with other attorneys within the Office of the General Counsel to get exposure to multiple practice areas.

Applicants should have already completed at least the first year of juris doctorate law school (and are still currently enrolled or preparing for their Bar Exam), have strong academic credentials, excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong organizational skills, ability to collaborate, and are detail oriented.

Selected interns would work at least 2 – 3 days in-office (40 hours per week) through December (starting either July 6 or September 8). The Office of the General Counsel is located at 10 Park Plaza, Boston, MA 02116.

This position is paid at $24.00 - $28.00 / hour (depending on education and experience). Interns can also receive academic credit through their school’s externship programs (interns must apply and be accepted to an externship program separately through their school for this option).

A cover letter indicating practice area of interest is required to be uploaded as part of the application.
