JAG CORPS INTERN PROGRAM

MORE THAN JUST A SUMMER JOB, IT’S AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME

THE PROGRAM

The Army JAG Corps hires first and second-year law students to serve as paid legal interns in JAG Corps offices worldwide (within the continental United States for first-year interns). JAG Corps summer interns work as temporary civil service employees performing a variety of legal assignments. Interns do not incur any military service obligation by serving in the JAG Corps Summer Intern Programs.

Summer interns gain first-hand experience of life in the JAG Corps through complete integration in an Army legal office as valued team members. The internship is a unique opportunity to learn more about the Army and to see if becoming a Judge Advocate is right for you.

LOCATIONS

Second-year summer interns work in JAG Corps offices worldwide, while first-year students work at offices within the continental United States. All interns must pay for their travel and lodging costs. However, all interns, including those who work overseas, have sponsors who will assist with housing searches and other needs. Interns work at many of the major Army installations listed below.
