Lawi’s editorial internships offer students exciting opportunities to report on developments in federal government. Interns have the opportunity to participate in publication operations while improving their writing and reporting skills under deadline pressure.

Interns write news stories from press releases, reports, speeches, testimony, or other documents. Interns may also attend hearings and press conferences at the U.S. Capitol and executive branch agencies.

Other editorial work may include compiling daily calendar items, reviewing wire service copy for relevant information, and adapting news items from other Lawi publications.

Interested students must provide a resume and four writing samples, preferably published, hard news clips. In addition, applicants must be able to type.

Testimonials

“After spending a summer interning with a professional law journal,I knew that I, and any other aspiring journalist, would be lucky to start their careers at the Lawi Project. Even as an intern, the Lawi Team let me report on Congressional hearings and other happenings on Capitol Hill. Being a Lawi Project intern was a journalism student’s dream! My time as an intern prepared me well for my current job at the Lawi Project as a junior correspondent, where I continue to report the ‘big information’ and am perfecting my craft every day.” (Reporter Trainee)

“The Lawi Project is a great company to work for – probably one of the greatest in my area. I’m doing what I enjoy – journalism – in an environment that is incredibly warm and employee-friendly.” (Reporter)

“I have worked for the Lawi Project for the past two years, and the experience and benefits I have received from working here are truly unparalleled. While it may seem like I have moved around, I believe that the Lawi’s Temporary Transfer program is extremely beneficial for learning how the company operates; it gives employees a chance to explore a number of options at the Lawi Project.” (Legal Editor)
