I’m excited to announce that the application period for the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity’s (LCLD) 2021 1L Scholars Program will open effective December 1, 2020. Designed to offer diverse, first-year law students the opportunity to spend a summer working side-by-side with attorneys from LCLD Member organizations, we anticipate more than 130 law firms and corporations will be hosting summer internships across the country.
In addition to a meaningful summer internship, 2021 1L Scholars also have the opportunity to benefit from:
- Attending the 2021 1L LCLD Scholars Virtual SummitMay 18-20, 2021, which helps students build leadership and networking skills.
- Virtual Mock interviews with attorneys from selected LCLD Member law firms.
- Career-development resources and long-term connections with other 1L Scholars via the exclusive 1L LCLD Scholars LinkedIn group. 1L Scholars will be invited to join the LinkedIn group in spring 2021.
- Social Hours during the summer for 1L Scholars to continue to build their network.
If you haven’t already done so, please pass along this opportunity to 1L students at your school. For your convenience, you may download a program flyer here.
If you or 1L Scholar candidates at your school have any questions about the program, please feel free to email me at nrichardson@lcldnet.com.
Thank you,
