Law Clerk (Trainee) – Honors Program

The National Labor Relations Board is hiring Honors Program Law Clerks (Trainees) to support labor-law casework in regional field offices. Miami and Tampa appear among possible duty stations. The position is designed for eligible legal graduates who have not yet been admitted to the bar. Responsibilities: Help labor-relations investigators and NLRB attorneys examine workplace complaints and complex unfair labor practice cases. Analyze legal and factual material, assist in gathering information, prepare recommendations for case disposition, and help negotiate formal or informal settlements. Support representation-election activities, including arrangements and related legal procedures. Draft legal research and case materials for review by agency attorneys. Qualifications: The Honors Program emphasizes law-school academic performance, legal research, and communication. Eligibility can be based on academic ranking/GPA, prior NLRB or labor-agency experience, or other relevant labor-law experience, alongside additional degree and program rules. Candidates must provide transcripts and agree to Honors Program conditions; the announcement distinguishes this trainee route from the bar-admitted attorney role. Important details: Full-time; base salary excludes locality pay. Up to five location preferences may be selected, with no promise that a Florida office will make an appointment. Closing November 20, 2026.
