The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Honors Attorney Program is a highly competitive and prestigious 2-year entry-level professional development program. It is a unique opportunity for outstanding students in their final year of law school, new law school graduates in a post-graduate program, and recently graduated judicial clerks to learn and work in support of the FDIC’s mission of maintaining stability and public confidence in the nation’s financial system. In addition, as innovative and transformative technologies are rapidly altering the ways financial institutions serve their customers, participants will be exposed to valuable and stimulating areas of law atypical to most government practice.
Honors Attorneys will receive an in-depth understanding of the FDIC’s role in our financial system and an opportunity for public service. Honors Attorneys are assigned to a wide variety of projects throughout the Legal Division that provide extensive and diverse legal experience in an inclusive work environment, which recognizes and appreciates all employees’ perspectives and talents. Additionally, there is a substantial amount of individual responsibility assigned to them throughout the program. The FDIC is committed to providing personal and professional growth opportunities. Honors Attorneys are provided with work assignments designed to expose them to different areas of FDIC legal practice. Honors Attorneys tackle important and interesting matters, including, for example:
- Participating in high profile rulemakings implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act;
- Preparing for and attending meetings with international banking regulators; and
- Working with attorneys on consumer and risk enforcement matters, including taking sworn statements in preparation for administrative hearings.
