Job Duties

The Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel (OCC), the state’s voice for millions of Ohio residential utility consumers, seeks an employee with a passion for public service to serve as a Legal Intern.

This position is an opportunity to help consumers, including at-risk and low-income Ohioans, regarding justice for their electric, natural gas, telephone, and water utility services.

Since the legislature created the agency in 1976, we have sought lower utility bills and reliable utility service for residential consumers.

This part-time position is an opportunity to help others, including at-risk Ohioans, regarding their utility services.

This is a part-time position, and applicants for both summer only and school, will be considered. We currently offer a hybrid work environment.

The Legal Intern will assist the Deputy Consumers’ Counsel / Legal Director and OCC attorneys (among others) by researching law, legal precedent and other information.

The research relates to OCC’s consumer advocacy in government regulation of public utilities. OCC provides legal representation for consumers in such forums as the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Supreme Court of Ohio.

Qualifications

Applicants must have completed their first year in an accredited law school. Excellence in communications, including writing, is expected.

A knowledge of online research, Microsoft Office programs (including Excel, Outlook and Word) and other technology used in legal research is expected.
