Today, the OGC summer legal internship program wrapped up with a special opportunity to meet General Counsel Leslie Kiernan. The interns had the chance to ask the General Counsel about career advice and her thoughts on effectively managing in government.

This summer, the intern program included lunch meetings with Deputy General Counsel John Guenther, and Chief Counsels to the Commercial Law Development Program, Legislation and Regulation, and Trade Enforcement and Compliance, International Commerce, and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.  They met with the Assistant General Counsel for Transactions and Program Management, the Chiefs of the General Law, Federal Assistance Law, and Contract Law Divisions, and attended a virtual lunch-and-learn series hosted by our colleagues at NOAA. And before our legal interns head back home, they will get a chance to visit the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Are you a current law student with questions about Commerce?  Email us and we can put you in touch with a law school alum here at Commerce to answer your questions.  Or explore our public webpage and learn more about OGC, review employment opportunities, or submit a resume. 

Thank you to the summer interns for your service and contributions to the Office of the General Counsel!
