SEO Law Director And Former Biglaw Attorney Van Ann Bui’s Advice For Pre-Law Students
“The New York City Bar’s Committee on Recruitment & Retention of Lawyers sponsors the City Bar’s Diversity Fellowship Program, which provides summer internships at top law firms, corporations and government law departments across the city to first-year law students from underrepresented backgrounds who attend law school in the New York area. Students are required to submit an application package, which includes preparing a legal memo and personal statement, to their law schools. The participating law schools interview and select a certain number of their students to move on to interview with a panel of attorneys and other school representatives who sit on the City Bar’s Committee. From there, students are placed by the Committee at one of the Fellowship’s partner organizations….Without the City Bar’s Diversity Fellowship Program, I would not have had this opportunity.”
