The opportunity

The 2027 program gives employers a deliberate, efficient way to identify candidates for legal internships, summer associate roles, and entry-level opportunities.
Focused access
Participating employers assess applicant materials before interview day and build a schedule around the candidates they want to meet.
Meaningful format
Scheduled interviews make space for substantive conversations about experience, interests, and the work ahead.
