Law Clerk

Senator Blumenthal (D-CT) is accepting law clerk applications for the Fall 2025 session. Applicants must either be currently enrolled in an accredited JD program or have received a JD from an accredited program. Demonstrated interest in public service is preferred. Law clerks serve on the legislative team that manages the Judiciary Committee portfolio for Senator Blumenthal, and are responsible for conducting legal and policy research, preparing written materials, drafting legislation, and advising staff and the Senator. Law clerks may also collaborate with other legislative teams on issues and matters outside the jurisdiction of the Judiciary Committee (depending on the needs of the office and the interests of the law clerk). Law clerks must be able to write quickly and clearly, be flexible in adjusting to changing circumstances and legislative priorities, and be self-starters capable of taking responsibility for complicated, ongoing projects.

To apply, please submit, as a single PDF and in the following order, a one-page cover letter, a one-page resume, a three-page writing sample, and a current transcript to senate_employment@saa.senate.gov indicating the job referral number in the subject line. In your cover letter, please note (i) your approximate start date and (ii) your approximate end date. Please also indicate your weekly availability, including days and hours available. While full-time availability is preferred, prospective law clerks who can work part-time will also be considered. This is an unpaid position based in Washington, DC. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.
