Student Mediator
Reference No. UTC_PUGS_SUM_2024
Application Deadline is March 1, 2024*
Paid Summer Placement for Undergraduate Students
The Office of the New York State Attorney General (OAG) is seeking an undergraduate student to serve as a student
mediator for pay in the Utica Regional Office (RO). In addition to its other activities, the RO prosecutes businesses and
individuals engaged in fraudulent, misleading, deceptive, or illegal trade practices, and mediates thousands of
complaints each year from individual consumers. A large percentage of these complaints are resolved satisfactorily
through an informal mediation process. The student mediator is an integral part of this mediation process.
Student mediators act as consumer advocates in negotiating consumer complaints with merchants. Each student
mediator is assigned a docket of consumer complaint files covering a broad range of consumer issues including retail
sales, mail order transactions, credit transactions, telemarketing, warranty problems, home repair, and automobiles.
The student is exposed to the Office’s procedures and philosophy and deals directly with consumers and merchants to
resolve the complaints. Students are taught interviewing techniques and will have the opportunity to develop analytical
skills as they learn to focus on the underlying issues to reach a resolution of each complaint. While each complaint is
reviewed by a member of our professional staff, the students typically exercise significant discretion and independent
judgment. Consumer Representatives and experienced attorneys supervise the students.
