Today, the Attorney General’s office welcomed fifteen Summer Law Clerks to the Delaware Department of Justice. Named through a competitive selection process, these law school students volunteer their time, gaining legal experience and insight into the rewards and demands of public service by working in all three county offices in the Department’s Civil, Criminal, Family, and Fraud and Consumer Protection divisions. Over the next ten weeks, Summer Law Clerks will assist in hearings and trials, complete research projects, prepare briefs, write memos, and conduct other tasks reflecting the day-to-day experiences of Deputy Attorneys General. Each of this year’s clerks have completed two years of law school and will also be certified by the Delaware Supreme Court to prosecute minor misdemeanor cases.

“Attorney General Biden and I are pleased to welcome this year’s Summer Law Clerks to the Delaware Department of Justice, Chief Deputy Attorney General Charles Butler stated. “We appreciate their admirable commitment to public service and their contribution to our mission to enforce the law and protect Delawareans and their families.”
