[Law28] North Carolina Bar Association Event & Opportunities

[Johnson, Christiana H]

Good afternoon, 1Ls,



Thank you to everyone who came to the program today regarding two summer opportunities available through the North Carolina Bar Association (NCBA): the Minorities in the Profession (MIP) Committee's 1L Summer Associate Program (SAP) and the North Carolina Bar Foundation's Open Door Fellowship. It was wonderful to see so many of you interested in these fantastic opportunities. For clarity, we wanted to provide a follow-up email outlining each of these distinct programs and the timelines for each. Please note that each program has a different application process and deadline. I have included the details at the end of this email; please email me if you have any questions.


While we're speaking about the NCBA's programming, their annual Law Student Networking Reception is on January 22nd, from 4:30-6:30pm at the NC Bar Center (8000 Weston Parkway, Cary, NC). We strongly encourage you to attend this incredible opportunity to engage with attorneys from different practice areas around the state. Recommended attire is business professional.



MIP 1L SAP



1L SAP<https://www.ncbar.org/members/communities/committees/minorities-in-the-profession/1l-summer-associate-program/> is designed to provide corporate legal departments and law firms in North Carolina with an inside track on recruiting some of North Carolina's brightest and most talented law students, specifically those committed to diversity. This is a competitive program, as two students and one alternate will be selected per North Carolina law school. Those who are selected to represent the law school will attend an off-site interview day on Thursday, February 19th. Students interview with all employers and then have the chance to "match" based on mutual rankings.



To apply for this program, you must submit an application on Symplicity (ID #23122) by Wednesday, January 21. Below is a full timeline of the application process:

Open Door Fellowship



This fellowship was created as part of NCBA+NCBF's ongoing commitment to address inequities in access to legal services and participation in the legal profession experienced by historically excluded or disadvantaged individuals and communities in North Carolina. This is a 10-week experience with an arranged employer host with a payment of $10,000. More highlights of the program and the application can be found here<https://www.ncbarfoundation.org/our-programs/open-door-fellowship/>.


Best,
