DUTIES: Summer interns in the OSD Honors Legal Internship Program are given considerable flexibility in their assignments. At least one intern is assigned to each OGC office listed above. There are substantial opportunities to enhance research and drafting skills by working in close association with members of OGC. Interns will assist in drafting and commenting on legislation, regulations, congressional testimony, litigation materials, and legal opinions. Interns will have the opportunity to assist in the process of formulating DoD legal policy on high-profile topics of current interest. Our intern program also may include visits to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Senate Armed Services Committee, military bases, Defense agencies and DoD field activities, all intended to familiarize the interns with the practice of law by federal attorneys and the work of DoD in general.
General Counsel, National Defense University, GS-0905-15
The incumbent serves as the General Counsel, National Defense University (NDU). The incumbent provides a full range of legal advice and assistance to the NDU President and senior leadership of the University, including civilian personnel law, labor relations, EEO law issues, acquisition law, ethics and standards of conduct, FOIA and Privacy Act law.
Associate General Counsel, Office of the Deputy General Counsel (Acquisition & Logistics), Department of Defense Office of General Counsel
There is an opening for a staff attorney in the DoD OGC Acquisition and Logistics practice group (OGC (A&L)). The scope of practice in OGC(A&L) is broad, stretching far beyond what the label might indicate, but the duties of this attorney will align most closely with the plain meaning of the term acquisition. As those familiar with Defense acquisition can attest, such a close aligning does not necessarily result in a narrow slate of duties. The portfolio principally includes support of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition in their management of the major defense acquisition programs of the Department that have USD(A&S) or ASD(A) as the milestone decision authority.

The resumés may be used to fill future vacancies for positions in the Office of the General Counsel, to include vacancies in the DoD OGC Attorney Honors Program, or positions within the Defense Legal Services Agency (DLSA).
