Interested in Gaining Legal Experience as a Judicial Intern? Apply for the Summer Judicial Internship Diversity Project (SJID)!

The application for JRC-JTB’s Summer Judicial Internship Diversity (“SJID”) Project is open and will close on January 20, 2022. The application can be found by clicking HERE.

The SJID Project offers law students a chance to work with judges across the nation and we have judges in your area who have registered to host an intern.

As a refresher, the SJID Project’s goal is to provide summer judicial internships to diverse law students from communities underrepresented in the legal community. The SJID Project is national in scope and will place law students as judicial interns in the chambers of federal appellate, district, bankruptcy, magistrate and select state appellate and circuit court judges. Interns will have the opportunity to draft bench memoranda, judicial orders, and opinions on a variety of substantive matters, including motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, magistrate judge reports, and habeas corpus petitions. Applicants should possess strong research and writing skills and be prepared to handle the rigors of working in judge’s chambers.  

If anyone has any questions, they are encouraged to contact Cristina Figueroa at [email protected] at Just the Beginning—A Pipeline Organization.
