Click the following 2010 Diversity in Practice Program.pdf for the PDF addressing the Twin Cities Diversity in Practice Annual 1L Summer Rotation Clerkship Program. The clerkship combines a traditional law firm clerkship with experience with working in an in-house corporate law department. The program is designed to give students of color the opportunity to work at a top-ranked law firm as well as spend a "rotation" (typically 3-4 weeks) working in the law department of a major corporation.

No applications will be accepted until December 1st, per NALP guidelines.

If you have any questions at all about the program, application process, etc. please do not hesitate to contact Emily Brandes at ebrandes@diversityinpractice.org or by phone at 612.766.7219. Thank you for helping make this program a success!

The Minnesota Minority Clerkship Program (MMCP) is in its fifth year since implementation. The program was conceived and is administered by the Diversity Committee with the purpose of fostering diversity within the Minnesota legal community.

The program is designed to match selected 1L students-of-color with participating Minnesota legal employers for a summer clerkship opportunity. The clerkship program gives employers and students a unique opportunity to establish contacts, obtain "real world" experience and promote diversity in the legal profession.
