Responsibilities: Assignments will vary based on the needs of the office at the time of the internship. Examples of assignments include drafting memoranda, briefs, orders, and motions for administrative law matters; reviewing and responding to discovery and open records requests; drafting professional correspondence; and completing legal research on issues of importance to any TDEC division.

In addition to the regular assignments, interns will be encouraged to attend administrative law hearings and regulatory board meetings, complete a field visit with an environmental division inspector, and tour a state park with park staff.

While this is an unpaid internship, it offers valuable experience and could qualify for pro bono credit.
