[blindlaw] Law Student Internship Opportunity

[Will]

1L and 2L law students are encouraged to apply for an internship with the
Disability Rights Office (DRO) of the Consumer and Governmental Affairs
Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington, DC.
While the intern opportunities are not paid, the FCC will work with the
intern’s school to arrange academic credit for the intern’s service. The
cohort of FCC interns also have their own activities outside of their
assigned offices, which may include workshops hosted by the Federal
Communications Bar Association and other related meetings, and some social
activities such as baseball games.

Specifically about the work of DRO: the DRO is an industrious office with
much to offer to prospective intern candidates who are seeking hands-on
experience with legal research and writing. We have numerous active
rulemaking proceedings and disability-related outreach activities in order
to fulfill the office’s mission to promote optimized disability access to
modern communications. On an annual basis we try to tailor the work to
accommodate the specific interests of the interns in providing particular
research and writing projects. For the array of topics under the purview of
the DRO, please visit www.fcc.gov/accessibility.

If interested, please send an email with your cover letter, resume, writing
sample, and unofficial transcript to Suzy Rosen Singleton, Chief,
Disability Rights Office, at Suzanne.Singleton at fcc.gov. If you'd like to
discuss this opportunity further, an appointment can be scheduled to meet
via phone (202-510-9446) or in person. For more information about
