The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey is accepting applications for a unique, one-year student internship as part of the Model Intern Program (MIP) offered through the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. The MIP is built on a foundation of inclusivity and seeks to expose, develop and place talented and underserved undergraduate students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds in paid internships in federal courts, preparing them for future employment opportunities within the federal judiciary.

The District Court is seeking an individual who is keenly interested in learning about the federal court system to fill this position. The internship will be offered to a rising junior or senior undergraduate student. The intern will engage in a wide range of tasks and will gain exposure to work performed by several court units including the District Court, Bankruptcy Court, and Probation and Pretrial Services among the three vicinages (Newark, Trenton and Camden). The internship will start on or after June 3, 2024, and conclude no later than May 31, 2025.
