PALM BEACH COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION SUMMER 2019 DIVERSITY INTERNSHIP PROGRAM [DEADLINE: JAN. 18, 2019 BY 5 P.M.]
The Palm Beach County Bar Association’s Committee on Diversity & Inclusion’s Diversity Internship Program (CDI DIP) is accepting law student applications for their summer internship program.
The Diversity Internship Program (DIP) was established in 2010 to provide diverse law students with the opportunity to obtain practical experience in the legal professional and gain exposure to the Palm Beach County legal community while working with local law firms and government agencies. Prior to 2010, the program was known as the Minority Law Clerk Program and focused on providing students with historically disadvantaged backgrounds legal work experience. In expanding the program, the Palm Beach County Bar Association and Committee for Diversity and Inclusion intend that DIP interns will gain valuable work experience, be able to network with local attorneys and members of the judiciary, have opportunities at future employment, and ultimately decide to begin their legal career in Palm Beach County—continuing their broader goal of creating a diverse Bar Association that reflects the diversity of Palm Beach County and the larger community.
Since its creation, law firms from many different practice areas and many different sizes have participated as employers. State and local government agencies also have participated and employed DIP interns. A few previous DIP interns have been offered opportunities for future, permanent employment due to their participation in the program. However, future employment is not guaranteed. Many DIP interns, employed or not, chose upon graduation to relocate to Palm Beach County and are now active members of the Bar Association.
