The Attorney General serves as the attorney for the State of Florida and as a member of the Florida Cabinet (For more information about the Attorney General visit the Role and Function of the Attorney General). Working for the Office of the Attorney General affords undergraduate and law students an opportunity to gain practical experience in either a legal, law enforcement, or victim services office and offers students a chance to perform meaningful work toward the completion of their degree.

The Office of the Attorney General Internship Program is open to interested students enrolled in an accredited ABA law school or an applicable undergraduate program of study with an accredited educational institution. The program offers both paid and unpaid internship opportunities. All students seeking academic credit, or experience, during the fall, spring, or summer term should apply for an unpaid internship. Law students seeking paid opportunities are welcome to apply for an OPS Law Clerk position. OPS Law Clerk positions are restricted to law students who have completed their 1L year; these positions are limited in number and therefore are highly competitive. Students must be able to work a minimum of 20 hours per week, or for a period as prescribed by the college or school. The number and locations of internships available each term is based on agency need and opportunity (visit AG Programs and Units to learn more about the duties and responsibilities of the divisions comprising the Office of the Attorney General).

Interested students are directed to complete and submit the appropriate application packet prior to the deadline. Please note that applications received after the set deadline will not be considered.
