Executive Summary from Eve’s final report:
The Office of International Affairs (OIA) engages in the negotiation of treaties, conventions, and
other agreements with regards to international criminal matters in order to provide advice and
assistance to the Attorney General, Department of State and to the most senior officials of the
Department of Justice, state, and local prosecutors. OIA
attorneys are also involved with United Nation committees,

corruption, terrorism, and money laundering. In this way, the
OIA works with cases that not only directly impact our own

“Working at OIA was a
valuable opportunity not
only for expanding my mind
in the public policy realm,
but also for understanding
more about myself.”

2. various parts of the world and I have become more aware of the tactics used by criminals to
perform such crimes. I am now familiar with the procedures used by government agencies that
deal with these cases.
I plan to use the knowledge that I have acquired from the internship in pursuing career paths. I
have learned a lot about myself in this internship. I recognize that while the content of the
material is interesting and something I definitely want to incorporate in my professional
pursuits, a career with a lot of daily human interaction and less computer use is something I will
seek in order to fulfill my interests.
