Virtual Internship. Real Experience.
The Virtual Student Federal Service connects the talents of U.S. citizen college students with the needs of federal agencies. Since 2009, more than 10,000 remote interns have advanced the work of the federal government. The time commitment is about 10 hours per week during the school year. There are opportunities for all, from data visualization to political analysis. Internships are unpaid but may be eligible for course credit. Speak with a guidance counselor regarding course credit requirements.
U.S. citizen high school graduates, from rising college freshmen through Ph.D. students, who are enrolled at least half-time (as defined by the school) in college during their application and participation are eligible. Because the program is virtual, students can intern from anywhere.
Students apply between July 1 and July 28 and may apply for up to three internships. A maximum of 300 U.S. citizen college students may apply to each internship project. Internship mentors select students in August. Internships begin in September and run for the duration of the academic year.

I recently had a smart and inquisitive student ask about some of the above acronyms, which led me to a deep dive into additional legal careers besides practicing law as a lawyer and paralegal. Here's the scoop:
- Juris Doctor (JD): The typical way to become a lawyer in the United States is to achieve an undergraduate degree, earn a JD, take the bar exam, and practice law.
- Master of Laws (LLM): In many other countries, a law degree is an undergraduate accomplishment. An LLM is typically for international students who want to achieve a deeper, master's-level understanding of the U.S. legal system. LLM may also be appropriate for JD graduates to specialize their law practice area.
- Master of Studies in Law (MSL): Many folks want to work in the field of law without being a practicing attorney. The MSL is a way for professionals in a variety of fields that require legal information to further gain legal knowledge. For example, folks who work in compliance, healthcare, business, entertainment, and paralegal roles may benefit from an MSL.
