For law students, serving as a judicial law clerk is a mark of distinction and honor that will advance their future career opportunities in law practice, and academia, in government as high-level appointees, and in securing appointments to the bench. Clerkships in business law courts provide another unique and highly important benefit to law students: the ability to see a microcosm of business practice, and allow the student to become familiar with business issues. Such a background will prove invaluable to a career in business law, whether it be litigation or transactional work.<\/p>\n<p>Up to nine law students from diverse backgrounds are placed in summer business court clerkships around the country. The selected clerks will receive a stipend to cover living expenses for the duration of the 8-week clerkship and an all-expense paid trip to the September 2015 Section Annual Meeting in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Review the details and access an application from the ABA <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanbar.org\/groups\/business_law\/initiatives_awards\/diversity.html\">website<\/a>.\u00a0 <strong>Application Deadline is Friday, December 26, 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2015 Business Law Section Diversity Clerkship Program The\u00a0Business Law Section\u00a0Diversity Clerkship Program focus is on judicial clerkships, where diversity among judicial clerks remains disproportionately low.
