The 2023 Abbott-McAndrews Diversity Internship will be awarded to a diverse 1L law student with having life science or engineering background. The recipient will serve as a paid summer associate at McAndrews for six to eight weeks (based on the intern’s availability) and as a paid summer intern at Abbott for four weeks. While at McAndrews, the recipient will gain experience in patent and trademark litigation, prosecution, due diligence, licensing, and PTAB practice. While at Abbott, the recipient will have the opportunity to learn the business side of intellectual property law. He or she will be exposed to the perspectives and opportunities of working as an in-house attorney at Abbott, and to networking opportunities within Abbott. The recipient will also be eligible to receive an offer to return to McAndrews for the firm’s 2L summer associate experience.
