On behalf of the Division’s Diversity Committee, which is sponsoring these events, I write to invite students from your law school to join the Division for a virtual presentation on the Department of Justice’s Honors Program and Summer Law Internship Program (SLIP) positions.
During the presentation, we will discuss tips for applying to Honors Program and SLIP positions and the Tax Division generally—which is one of the best-kept secrets in the Department. For example, the Tax Division was the second highest ranked organization within the Department of Justice in the 2023 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government Rankings. Our advice is likely to be useful in applying to other DOJ components through the Honors Program, too.
Tax courses or experience are NOT required! The Tax Division, primarily located in Washington, D.C., represents the United States in criminal and civil litigation around the country. Tax Division attorneys are immediately assigned cases and given hands-on litigation opportunities that are virtually unmatched in other private or public sector roles. We strive to build a collegial working environment that reflects the diversity of America, and we welcome applications from candidates of every background.
We will present four sessions in August, before the SLIP and Honors Program applications are due on Tuesday, September 3. All law students are welcome to attend any of these presentations (and the presentations will all cover the same content). The information for joining each presentation is below.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please let me know.
Thanks—and we’re hoping to meet you soon!
