Does the navy jag corps have a summer intern program for students who have not been selected for a commission via the student program?

Yes. The availability and duration of internships are subject to annual funding and is not usually finalized until approximately April 15 of each year. Participants are assigned to Navy legal offices and perform the normal duties of a law clerk, receiving pay at the GS-6 or GS-7 level.

Travel to the office for internship is a personal expense.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
