Want to become a lawyer? Passion for the community? Interested in Social Work? Looking to strengthen your world experience? Then the Public Defender Service (PDS) is the place for you.
The Criminal Law Internship Program (CLIP) is a diverse community of strong leaders that work together to provide and promote quality legal representation to indigent adults and children facing a loss of liberty in the District of Columbia, thereby protecting society's interest in the fair administration of justice. Our interns are a vital part of our mission. Our interns work side by side with their attorney and receive highly regarded hands on experience daily. Interns are not just investigators; they are case managers and advocates. Interns excel in time management, communication, and research skills.
