Job Description
To carry out its mission, the Policy, Legal, Program Operations program area oversees the implementation of federal and state statutes, regulations and policies and has a central role in proactively shaping federal and state decisions. The section is dedicated to providing national leadership in strengthening child support enforcement and in generating initiatives that promote the welfare of children and healthy family relationships. The Policy, Legal, Program Operations section seeks to provide a seamless network of communication of the goals and purposes of the Title IV-D program to all of its partners and colleagues. The program is seeking a law student for an internship. The intern tasks will be primarily legal research and public policy research related. An ideal candidate should be interested in public policy, legislative history, government agency administration, state/federal relationships, in the context of family law (with an opportunity to take an in-depth look into other states’ child support guidelines). The intern or volunteer will not be engaged in litigation of child support cases; all work will be onsite, or possibly in off-site libraries or state archives. The intern/volunteer will be supporting the preparation of a federally required review of the child support guidelines.
