INTERNSHIPS WITH GCIL The Office of General Counsel for International Law GCIL's Winter – Spring 2010 internship vacancy has been filled. The office is now considering internship applications for the Summer of 2010 and thereafter. At present there are no funds for a paid internship. However, the office considers candidates for a volunteer legal internship on a rolling basis throughout the year. The unpaid internship is generally at least 12 weeks in duration and at least 15 hours per week; start dates are flexible. In the past, interns have engaged in research and writing and attended interagency working group meetings at the U.S. Departments of the Interior, State, Defense, Homeland Security, Transportation, and Commerce as well as at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. The office strives to ensure that each intern has an opportunity to complete a minimum of one substantial writing assignment. The ideal candidate will have a strong research and writing background as well as a demonstrated interest or experience in international environmental law, oceans law, and the Law of the Sea. GCIL INTERNSHIP APPLICATION PROCESS: Submit cover letter, resume, transcript, references and at least one writing sample. You may provide more than one writing sample, however, at least one of your writing samples should be relatively short - no more than five (5) pages. Please send them electronically by email to Ole Varmer with a copy to Alma Lyons. Your cover letter should indicate prominently the time frame of the proposed internship and explain clearly your interest in international environmental law and oceans law. Candidates may be contacted for additional information and/or for an interview. The office is not always able to respond to every application.
