Undergraduate internship question — SDNY or DC USAO?

Post by seventhamendment » Mon Jun 29, 2026 7:06 pm

Hello all,

I'm currently a rising junior deciding between two fall semester internship positions — USAO SDNY or USAO DC. Both are compelling opportunities, but I figured your legal community could afford some perspective as to which internship would prove a better experience.

What should I consider when deciding between the two? Is one objectively superior? I'm primarily interested in national security law, constitutional law, and appellate litigation — so any insights into SDNY's and DC's respective strengths in such areas would be appreciated!

Thank y'all so much.
