Website Advisory Council on Historic Preservaton

An independent federal agency, the ACHP oversees the historic preservation review process for federal projects and advises the President and Congress on historic preservation. The agency manages a variety of preservation initiatives to address national preservation issues, such as promoting public appreciation of cultural heritage, reusing historic building stock for housing and other contemporary needs, advancing sustainability and resilience, supporting Indigenous peoples' interests, and youth engagement.

ACHP’s Office of General Counsel (OGC) is seeking a 2L law student with strong legal research, analytical, and writing skills as a full-time summer intern. You may work remotely or combine onsite and remote work. Update the Section 106 caselaw book from 2021 to the present, conduct caselaw research on Section 106 (and possibly NEPA) cases where the court found the agency achieved the intent and purpose of the regulatory process despite missing procedural steps, and assist in updating and providing additional recommendations to the ACHP Guidance on Agreement Documents and other Section 106 guidance. Familiarity with the National Historic Preservation Act and/or other federal environmental laws is a plus but not required. Participate in the daily work of a federal Office of General Counsel, interacting with federal attorneys and program staff. Gain knowledge of current issues and litigation relating to the NHPA and experience advising federal practitioners on historic preservation matters.
