Law students rave about our program and its impact on their career. Here are a few reasons why:
- Students not only have the opportunity to work for a top-tier law firm, but they also gain rare in-house experience at some of the country’s top tech companies, experiencing firsthand the difference in how legal advice is crafted in both environments.
- They also gain an incredible network of mentors and peers across the LiTD community. They gain not just an employer, but an industry.
- Two high-profile company resume credentials in one summer;
- A lasting professional cohort, composed of the cross-company class of associates -- this serves as a social and support network during the summer, and will mature into a network of professional contacts as you advance in your careers.
Here are the basic commitments we expect from each student participating in LiTD:
- LiTD is a job. Students should be prepared to work diligently at both the law firm and tech company.
- Students should be prepared to attend law firm and LiTD summer programming to the best of their ability.
- Students should be prepared to return to their LiTD law firm for at least a portion of their 2L summer, assuming an offer is extended.
This program is making a real impact on the career trajectories of participating students, and by building a sustainable and scalable program, we are making a change in the profession. Here are a few quotes from our summer associates:
- “This was life changing for me. Thank you.”
- “The LiTD program gave me an invaluable experience and lasting friendships. I feel extremely fortunate and lucky to have been part of the program, as I have a much better idea of where I want to take my future and how to do it. I have met many supportive individuals at both the law firm and the in-house company, several of whom have continued to offer support even after I have left. I hope that this program will continue to grow and support diverse law students!”
- “I am so grateful for this program and for the specific firm and company that selected me. I know that this experience sets me apart from other law students my year. I am so motivated to continue to excel in my 2L year.”
- “I truly enjoyed my experience as a Law in Tech intern. I was able to work with many interesting practice groups, gain exposure to two different working environments, and meet and network with very accomplished yet approachable attorneys. I also enjoyed getting to know the other interns at the Law in Tech events. Thank you for a wonderful and informative summer!”
- “This was an amazing program, I really hope this continues on and grows/thrives. The people who put this together all deserve enormous praise. I’m proud to have been a part of the inaugural class.”
- “To me, the Law in Technology Diversity Collaborative means opening doors, traditionally designed to remain closed, for law students from different backgrounds. It means exposing students like me, who grew up in poverty, to some of the best legal training one could have at the outset of my career. Most importantly, the Collaborative means pushing students to let go of the never-ending imposter syndrome—empowering them to provide employers with new perspectives in the law."
- "The fact that the Collaborative recruited from schools that are underrepresented in big law demonstrated a meaningful commitment on the part of the firms and companies involved to broadening the pipeline of law students who can access tech and big law. Through my participation in the program, I hope to widen the door so that more HBCU law students and black woman law students can establish lasting careers in law and tech."
- "Loved it! Once in a lifetime experience!”
- "Participating in the Law in Technology Diversity Collaborative changed the trajectory of my legal career in my first year summer! This was truly the experience and summer of a lifetime and I'm extremely grateful I was selected for a program as transformative as this one!"
- "My LiTD experience has been extremely transformative for me in terms of gaining confidence and combatting imposter phenomenon. According to some associates, I have more in-house experience than them after this summer!"
