Delighted with the success of the last two summers, the Mecklenburg County Bar is pleased to announce the 2008-2009 Charlotte Legal Diversity Clerkship, a highly competitive summer program for first-year law students who advance the value of diversity. Up to ten students will be selected for the program. The clerks will spend the first six weeks of the twelve-week program working in the Charlotte office of one of the participating law firms and the second six weeks working in the Charlotte law department of one of the corporate partners. The clerks will participate in professional and social activities designed to highlight the benefits of practicing law and living in the progressive and dynamic city of Charlotte, North Carolina.
