Announcing the 2021 Judicial Clerkship Program |
|
 |
The New Mexico Supreme Court and the State Bar of New Mexico’s Young Lawyers Division and Committee on Diversity are proud to announce the 2021 Judicial Clerkship Program. The purpose of the Judicial Clerkship Program is to provide opportunities to students who are members of traditionally underrepresented groups in the legal profession, particularly within the judiciary. In addition, it is the purpose of the program to prepare underrepresented individuals with the tools necessary to obtain judicial clerkships. The program provides opportunities to underrepresented students, which may include, but is not limited to, members of racial or ethnic minorities, women, identify as LGBTQIA+, students with disabilities, students who are economically disadvantaged.
While the hope is that the Clerkship will take place in person, the on-going developments with COVID-19 will dictate the implementation of the program. The 2021 Clerkship may take place virtually or as a hybrid of virtual/in-person attendance. Program participants will be assigned to work with specific justice or judge depending on the justices or judges participating. The program is a full-time (32 hours per week), 9 week, summer internship program open to all second-year diverse law students.
