Internships

As part of our mission to enhance diversity in the profession, PALS has begun a new initiative partnering with corporations, organizations and the judiciary to assist them in identifying top quality minority law students for summer and school-year internship programs. Over 20 organizations from both the corporate and nonprofit sectors have participated in PALS’ Career Program by informing our law students about their incredible career-enhancing opportunities. Among the participants were Asian American Legal Defense Fund, Metlife, Citigroup, NBC/CNBC, American Express, and the NFL, Inc. PALS would like to thank our internship partners!
