Internships

Law students interested in internships in Judge Hedges’ chambers should email a cover letter, resume, law school transcript, and legal writing sample to chambers at Hedges_Interns@mad.uscourts.gov. Applicants should have at least one semester of law school grades before applying. If applicants submit an application and grades for a term later become available, applicants should update their application with a new transcript. Candidates of all backgrounds, including those with diverse life experiences, are encouraged to apply. Full-time interns are preferred, though applicants may apply for part-time positions during the fall and spring semesters. All fall and spring semester interns are expected to work at least 24 hours per week, preferably as three 8-hour days. Internships are in-person. Judge Hedges generally accepts internship applications during the following periods:

• Fall Internships: March 1 – April 15
• Spring Internships: September 15 – October 20
• Summer Internships: November 15 – January 31

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.
