1L Diversity Clerkship:
Delaware state and federal courts are among the elite tribunals in the United States for the resolution of complex business disputes. The Court of Chancery and the Complex Commercial Litigation Division of the Superior Court (“CCLD”) are followed by jurists, lawyers and others around the country as arbiters of cutting-edge legal issues, “bet-the-company” litigation. It is no secret that a predominance of public and private companies find their home in Delaware, and when litigation is necessary those entities (and others) have ready access in Delaware to some of the most experienced and sophisticated courts in the United States.
The Delaware State Bar Association (“DSBA”) invites you to apply for its 1L Judicial Diversity Clerkship program, sponsored by the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee of the DSBA. To apply for this program, applicants must meet the following criteria: (1) be currently enrolled as a first-year student in good standing at an ABA-accredited law school J.D. program; and (2) be a member of a traditionally underrepresented group in the legal profession (including law students who are women or members of racial/ethnic groups, identify as LGBTQ+ or have disabilities) or otherwise have experienced or overcome a physical, social or economic disadvantage or cultural impediment to becoming a law student; and (3) have an interest in civil law or business litigation. Clerks will be required to be physically present in Delaware for the clerkship. Law students selected to participate in the program will receive a clerkship in either the Court of Chancery or the CCLD in Wilmington, Delaware, and a stipend of $6,000 for the eight-week (June 6 to July 29, 2022) clerkship.
