The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) Corporate Scholars Program provides students with paid experiential learning opportunities in the legal departments of prestigious local and regional companies and nonprofit organizations. Students experience the full range of corporate practice areas and legal advocacy that in-house counsel handle and gain valuable insights into the relationship between providing business and legal advice to clients in a variety of substantive areas.

The Corporate Scholars Program seeks students who have good grades, strong writing skills, previous work experience, and professional maturity. Because the program is designed as a “diversity pipeline” program, the ACC National Capital Region seeks applications from populations that may otherwise lack access to these opportunities. Diversity for this program is used in its broadest sense and means obtaining a pool of applicants who are reflective of the work force in general and the communities that lawyers serve.

Information on the program, prior scholars, FAQs, and a link to the application can be found on the ACC website.

The application deadline is Friday, January 21, 2016, by 11:59 p.m. Semi-finalists will be interviewed for positions in the D.C. metro area and Central Virginia on Sunday, Feb. 21.
