The Diversity Committee also leads the Chapter's 2021 Diversity Summer Internship Program, one of the St. Louis legal community's strongest annual legal diversity efforts. This initiative is designed to give law students from diverse backgrounds substantive experience and meaningful exposure to in-house practice with our member companies. The goal of the program is to impact the diversity pipeline by providing opportunities to students who are underrepresented in the St. Louis Legal profession.
Members participating in the program help recruit and select interns for placement as paid summer legal interns with host companies. Each intern is supported by at least two program mentors—one from the hosting member company and an additional ACC member. Interns, mentors and host-company representatives come together for a variety of professional development and program activities. The experiences gained during the internship have prepared and aided the Interns in securing positions at large, well respected law firms and in some cases refocus their career goals.
