    Nov. 17, 2010 – Law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies can provide summer employment and valuable legal experience to first-year law students by participating in the 2011 State Bar Diversity Clerkship Program. Employers can enroll through Jan. 17.

    “This unique program provides legal employers with access to law students of diverse backgrounds from Wisconsin law schools,” says Diversity Outreach Committee program chair James Chiolino. “The program also provides first-year law students with a limited-term opportunity to gain real-life work experience in varied legal fields within Wisconsin. The program is a win-win situation for both employers and students.”

    “The program requires first-year law students to make a serious commitment to accept an assigned match with one of our participating employers,” says Chiolino. “In return, law students receive full-time, paid employment and gain real-world legal experience with early exposure to career and networking opportunities.”

    Employers can enroll through Jan. 7. For more information, contact State Bar project coordinator Patricia Morgan at (900) 444-9404, ext. 6107, or (608) 250-6107 or visit WisBar.
