The TCDIP 1L Clerkship is an amazing opportunity for 1L students of color to gain work experience at a law firm and corporation. With over 10 years of history, the TCDIP 1L Clerkship program is a well-respected program – many of our 1L Clerkship alumni have remained an integral part of the Twin Cities legal community. Read more about how to navigate the application process from Brandon Blakely, a TCDIP 1L Clerkship participant:
“You never know what opportunities will arise, so apply to as many positions as you can. Be yourself, be relaxed, and come prepared to discuss how your life experiences prepare you to be a summer associate. I encourage applicants to have a long view, as this could be your job interview for your post grad career. With that in mind, students should ask career-oriented questions. If you aren’t comfortable with interviews use the career center at your school, or friends and have them do a mock interview with you. Practice makes perfect.”
