Detailed information about CEQ's various roles and responsibilities can be found at our website at: www.whitehouse.gov/CEQ. Information on our legal internship program, including an application which can be downloaded, also can be found on the website. THE PROGRAM: CEQ has a very competitive legal internship program. We receive approximately 20 applications per session from both law students and recent law school graduates from across the country. However, we typically accept only 2 to 3 law students per session. CEQ's limited number of staff, coupled with its important responsibilities, makes our legal internship program critical to the success of our office. We have unpaid internship opportunities available year round and are currently seeking legal interns for the Spring, Summer, and Fall sessions. The CEQ staff consists of our Acting Chairman, George T. Frampton, Jr., three Special Assistants, and fifteen Associate Directors who are responsible for various environmental policy areas including: Legal interns work for CEQ's General Counsel and Deputy General Counsel who are charged with handling a variety of matters concerning oversight of NEPA and other legal matters pertinent to CEQ's functions. Additionally, legal interns have the opportunity to work closely with the General Counsel and Deputy General Counsel in a variety of ways, including: REQUIREMENTS: We are seeking law students and recent law school graduates who are committed to the preservation of our environment. Applicants must be highly motivated, willing to contribute where needed, and able to handle the pressures that come with working in an Executive Branch office.

Our office can arrange for credit from colleges, universities and other institutions.
