Business Law Clerkship Opportunities for Diverse Law Students


The Business Law Diversity Clerkship Program encourages students to pursue business court clerkship opportunities and to consider careers in the practice of business law. In considering a student's diversity, the Section will give special consideration to individuals who have overcome social or economic disadvantages such as physical disability, financial constraints, or cultural impediments to becoming a law student.

The objectives of the Program include:

• To encourage more diverse law students to apply for clerkship positions

• To foster relationships between business court judges and diverse law students

• To provide students with a foundation in various aspects of business law
Up to nine interns will be given a summer stipend of $6,000 and placed in business court clerkships in the Philadelphia Commerce Court or the Delaware Court of Chancery. Other possible internship locations include New York and Florida.

All application materials must be received on or before Friday, January 29, 2010. For more information about the Business Law Diversity Clerkship Program, check your FCSL email.
