Summer 2021 Law Clerk Honors Program with the EPA

Semester requirement: a minimum of 15 hours per week for 11 weeks.

EPA’s National Enforcement Training Institute (NETI) is accepting applications for unpaid positions in its Law Clerk Honors Program. We also share resumes with other offices. Participants in NETI’s program will work in EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) and other enforcement-related offices in Washington, DC.

Students will work with practicing environmental lawyers and technical professionals on active cases, policies and other projects related to civil (administrative and judicial) and criminal enforcement, investigations, inspections, targeting/priorities, federal facilities enforcement, state/tribal enforcement coordination, and other matters. Our offices implement and enforce the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, FIFRA, RCRA, TSCA, CERCLA and other environmental laws. Specific projects and assigned practice areas will depend upon the student’s placement. For more information about OECA’s activities, see www.epa.gov/enforcement and www.epa.gov/compliance.

During the Summer program, NETI’s Law Clerk Honors Program includes a series of unique, specialized training sessions on environmental laws and how they are enforced. These weekly seminars provide first-hand knowledge from EPA’s leading enforcement experts

Positions are competitive. We look for qualified and highly motivated candidates with superior records of achievement, a commitment to environmental and/or law enforcement work, and who also work well in teams.

Semester requirement: a minimum of 40 hours per week for 11 weeks. Will work with students schedule.
