In the Office of Administrative Litigation (OAL), Student Trainees receive front-line exposure to administrative litigation involving cutting-edge issues in energy law applied to specific cases concerning infrastructure and rates in the electric, natural gas, and oil sectors. Working directly with multidisciplinary case teams, an intern will see first-hand how the administrative process resolves disputes through litigation or settlement, including negotiations, trial preparation and practice, motions practice, preparation of expert witness testimony, and legal research on energy law and policy.
In the Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ), Student Trainees (Interns) assist FERCs administrative law judges and their law clerks with conducting formal administrative hearings and settlement proceedings, managing complex evidentiary records, drafting orders, and issuing Initial Decisions (ALJ opinions) in contested proceedings involving some of the most significant and technically sophisticated issues in energy regulation.

In the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) Energy Markets Section, Student Trainees perform legal research, draft legal memoranda, and assist with drafting orders related to the Commissions regulatory responsibilities under the Natural Gas Act, Federal Power Act, Interstate Commerce Act, and Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as well as administrative law. In the OGC Projects Section, Student Trainees perform legal research, draft legal memoranda, and assist with drafting orders related to the Commissions regulatory responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act and other environmental statutes; work with nonlegal technical staff to review, analyze, and resolve energy issues presented to the Commission; and review applications, analyze legal memoranda and orders relating to proposed hydropower and natural gas facilities. In the OGC General and Administrative Law Section, Student Trainees can expect to work in a variety of areas including labor relations, personnel disputes, Freedom of Information Act, ethics, contracts, Critical Energy/Electric Infrastructure Information, and to assist with any related litigation concerning these matters.
