It's not too late to participate in the 1L Diversity Clerkship's 2026 program! The 1L Diversity Clerkship program is organized through the Diversity and Inclusion Committee of the HCBA, and places first-year law students attending a Minnesota law school with Minnesota legal employers for full-time, paid summer associate experiences. Any student may apply, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability. Visit our employers page for more information about expectations and the interview process.
