Appointments to the Honors Paralegal Program can last from 14 months to four years. Based on the agency’s needs, Honors Paralegals are appointed to the Bureau of Competition, the Bureau of Consumer Protection, and other offices throughout the Commission.
Most Honors Paralegals are hired in the winter and spring of each year, with the majority of positions being posted in January and February. However, this is not always the case, and we encourage you to check USAjobs.gov throughout the year for Honors Paralegal vacancies.
