GAO Summer Associate Program
GAO’s Office of the General Counsel is looking for 2L (or equivalent) law students who expect to graduate in the spring of 2024 to participate in our 2023 Summer Associate program. GAO (the Government Accountability Office) is an independent, nonpartisan legislative branch agency and is often referred to as the “congressional watchdog.” GAO advises Congress on ways to make the federal government more efficient and effective. GAO’s Office of the General Counsel employs about 180 attorneys who carry out a range of legal functions across a number of practice areas, specifically: engagement counsel, appropriations law, procurement law, and in house counsel.
Summer Associates join us for 10-12 weeks and will have an opportunity to rotate through two teams in OGC, typically including one engagement counsel team and a decision-writing team (Appropriations Law, Procurement Law). Each rotation is expected to result in a written product and to provide participants with opportunities to demonstrate their core legal skills, such as legal research, writing, and the oral presentation of legal content. Our Summer Associates are exposed to the wide array of GAO’s legal work, not only through their rotations, but through a comprehensive training curriculum, shadowing opportunities, and office-wide events. Participants may have the opportunity to be considered for a permanent attorney position after graduation.
For our 2023 Summer Associate program, students can apply by submitting a cover letter, resume, unofficial transcript, and writing sample of up to 10 pages. Application materials should be sent to legalcareers@gao.gov with the subject of the email “Summer Associate 2023”. If selected, the interviews will be conducted via videoconference.
For more information, please visit https://www.gao.gov/about/careers/legal-careers.
The application deadline is August 12, 2022, 11:59 PM.
