The position requires a commitment to work 10 hours per week for two consecutive semesters. Interns will receive two credits per semester. This internship is offered "pass/fail" only. Interns must also enroll in a Fall 3- unit seminar, Advanced Federal Criminal Prosecution, taught by Prof. Susan Klein and AUSA Anthony Brown.
