The Diversity Clerkship Program is a summer program that provides business law clerkship placements for qualified, diverse, second-year law students. Participating clerks receive support and mentoring in the business law field and exposure to business practices. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The purpose of the Diversity Clerkship Program is to provide hands-on experience and exposure in Business Law to law students. Roles and responsibilities of selected Diversity Clerkship participants include but are not limited to the following: <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
1. Researching cases <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
2. Drafting memoranda and opinions <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
3. Observing trials <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
4. Networking with local attorneys and judges <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In addition to a placement in a business court clerkship, Diversity Clerkship participants will also receive a stipend of $3,000 to cover living expenses for the duration of the 8-week clerkship. If the COVID-19 pandemic prevents an individual from being able to complete the clerkship in person (due to mandates, health concerns, etc.) we will work to provide a virtual experience. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Applicants must be considered diverse in one of the following ways: law student of color; women; law students with disabilities; LGBT law students; and\/or students who have overcome social or economic disadvantages such as a physical disability, financial constraints, or cultural impediments to becoming a law student. In evaluating a student’s diversity, the Section will give special consideration to individuals who have overcome social or economic disadvantages such as physical disability, financial constraints, or cultural impediments to becoming a law student. Applicants also must be ABA and Business Law Section Members. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
