1L Information Session with Law in Technology Diversity Collaborative

 Join members of LiTD as they give information about their 10 week paid internship for women, underrepresented minorities, and other first-year law students with a demonstrated commitment to diversity.

For 2020, the Law in Technology Diversity Collaborative will provide approximately 30 successful candidates with a 10-week paid internship split between a Bay Area or LA tech company and a high-profile law firm.

Participating in the Law in Tech Diversity Collaborative is an investment in your long-term legal career. While each tech company in the Collaborative will make its own hiring decisions and offer its own in-house experience, in one summer, the Collaborative will provide its students with:

• Valuable legal work experience and training at a top-tier law firm and rare in-house work experience, that will give students a holistic perspective on the differences in how legal advice is crafted and digested;
• Two high-profile company resume credentials;
• Networking events with fellow interns and attorneys across all of the companies participating in the Collaborative; and
• A lasting professional cohort, composed of the cross-company class of interns -- this serves as social and support network during the summer, and will mature into a network of professional contacts as you advance in your careers.

Register on the events page of CareerLink. The Zoom link will be distributed the week of the event.
