Work in the consumer protection and antitrust departments of state Offices of Attorneys General and other governmental offices throughout the US.

Selected students will serve for a minimum of eight weeks during the summer of 2014 in the consumer protection or consumer affairs offices of locations of participating state and territorial governments.
