The program provides scholars with exciting professional experiences while introducing them to the value of relationships and building networks with LCLD Members.
We encourage current law students to provide a current resume, law school transcript, legal writing sample, and list of references (including faculty and past legal employers) to the recruiting contact for the firm office in which they are interested.
