1Ls, join us tomorrow (Friday, October 27) on Zoom at noon Central Time for a virtual information session about the TCDIP 1L Summer Clerkship!
Twin Cities Diversity in Practice (TCDIP) has sponsored the TCDIP 1LSummer Clerkship for over a decade because we know that our nation and our state’s true diversity is not reflected in the legal field.
TCDIP’s competitive 1L Clerkship program strengthens the talent pipeline for future attorneys of color, drawing highly qualified first-year law students from across the country to interview for Clerkship positions with Member Organizations. Most TCDIP 1L Clerks work some portion of the summer in a Member law firm and some portion of the summer in a Member corporate legal department. Other clerks may work primarily in a law firm setting, with regular opportunities to visit and engage with corporate employers. The TCDIP 1L Clerkship usually lasts between 10 and 12 weeks.
Clerks engage in meaningful work assignments designed to build legal skills and educate Clerks on the roles and responsibilities of attorneys working within a law firm and in-house legal department setting. Law firm and corporate employers will provide one or more designated Supervisors within each work setting. Supervisors and others will provide timely feedback and evaluation of Clerks.
Please RSVP in Symplicity.
