Attn: Undergraduate or graduate students who might have an interest in pursuing a curatorial internship opportunity at the Supreme Court of the United States.
The Office of the Curator at the Supreme Court of the United States is currently accepting applications for Fall 2018 internships. Interns play an integral role in the Curator’s Office, contributing their skills and enthusiasm to completing substantive projects that assist the curatorial staff in fulfilling our mission to preserve the records and history of the Supreme Court and provide visitors with information on Court history and architecture. Additionally, all interns gain valuable public speaking and interpersonal skills by regularly conducting tours and Courtroom Lectures and by staffing a Visitor Desk.
A detailed description of the program and application instructions can be found on the Supreme Court’s website: http://www.supremecourt.gov/jobs/curatorial_internship/InternshipInfoSheet.aspx. Please share this link with any students who may be interested in applying. All applications and other required materials must be submitted by Friday, June 15 to receive consideration for the fall.
Please note: Interns will gain an understanding of museum practices and procedures and receive a thorough introduction to the history and functions of the Supreme Court, however this is not a legal internship. It does not involve working with legal functions of the Court. Internships are unpaid. Interns are encouraged to pursue academic credit through their institutions of study and in consultation with the Supreme Court Internship Program.
Please submit questions regarding the Supreme Court Internship Program via web form or by phone at 202-479-3415.
