The Region 4 Office of Regional Counsel (ORC) offers opportunities for legal internships during the spring semester of each school year and each summer to law students actively pursuing a J.D. or LLM. Interns are given substantive assignments by attorneys and are often asked to accompany attorneys to meetings, negotiations and occasionally other excursions. 

How to Apply

For summer internships, interested persons should apply for “Student Trainee (Legal)” positions through EPA’s Pathways Internship Program by March 15, 2024.
