SCOTUSblog is now accepting applications from current law students interested in interning with us. Details about the position’s qualifications and responsibilities, as well as how to apply, are below the jump.
The principal focus of the internship (which is a paid one) will be assisting Tom with the “Petition of the day” and “Petitions to watch” features on the blog and maintaining the case pages.

* Have a strong interest in learning about the U.S. Supreme Court and its workings
* Have some experience working with (or at least interest in) blog or website technology

To apply, please send us the following materials:
