each of these distinct programs and the timelines for each. Please note that <b>
<u>each program has a different application process and deadline.</u></b> I have included the details at the end of this email; please email me if you have any questions. </span></p>

SAP</a> 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.</span></p>
