Internship Description:

The Board performs five New York City Charter-mandated functions: (1) Educating City employees on the content of the conflicts of interest laws; (2) providing oral and written guidance to City employees on the conflicts of interest laws; (3) litigating enforcement actions against City employees who violate the conflicts of interest laws; (4) collecting and reviewing nearly 8,000 financial disclosure reports and litigating enforcement actions against employees who fail to file their reports; and (5) proposing amendments to the conflicts of interest and financial disclosure laws and promulgating Board rules.

Eleven of the Board’s twenty-six staff are attorneys. Working under the supervision of the Board’s legal staff, the summer intern’s tasks may include, but will not be limited to, the following:

• Assisting in drafting legal memoranda and letters
• Proofreading Board documents
• Reviewing complaints of unethical conduct by City employees
• Assisting the Board’s enforcement attorneys in preparing and prosecuting actions before the City’s Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings
• Assisting legal staff with case management, including case openings and closings
• Attending monthly Board meetings and meetings with other City officials and visitors
• Assisting in the Board’s training and education programs
• Assisting the Board's administrative staff in performing payroll and other administrative functions

The Board is a small City agency and, as such, is able to work closely with interns, including the senior members of Board staff. The hours are flexible and can be adapted to the student’s needs.
