The Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund's Corporate Legal Internship is a paid summer internship program for first and second year law students of color who are interested in pursuing careers in corporate legal departments. Since corporate legal departments typically do not maintain summer internship programs, PRLDEF's internship program provides students of color with an otherwise rare opportunity. Current corporate partners include Bristol-Myers Squibb (NY and NY), IBM (NY), Johnson & Johnson (NJ), Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. (NY), and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals (NY).
Students interested in being considered for this internship opportunity should send a resume, cover letter, transcipt (undergraduate if 1L), and legal writing sample postmarked no later than Friday, December 19, 2008 to:
Ms. Sonji Patick
Education Programs Director, PRLDEF
