By performing these duties, interns will gain valuable experience in administrative law and procedure, legal research and writing, state and local tax theory, and statutory and regulatory interpretation. Additionally, we help interns make their writing clear and concise. This skill is invaluable to any attorney in any area of practice.

The Appeals team duties will constitute approximately 90% of the intern's time with DOR's Legal division. The Appeals team duties will constitute most of the intern's time with DOR's Legal division.
