Summer Law Intern Program Participating Components
Listed below are the Summer Law Intern Program participating components for summer 2025. Applicants must meet Summer Law Intern Program eligibility requirements at the time they apply. You may apply to up to three hiring offices in either the SLIP-Pathways (for pre-law school graduation internships) or the SLIP-Law Clerk (for post-law school graduation internships).
- You may not apply to both the SLIP-Pathways and the SLIP-Law Clerk. If eligible for one, you are not eligible for the other. Ineligible applicants will be disqualified from consideration.
If you seek a pre-law school graduation internship (i.e., for the summer between your 2L and 3L year), apply to the SLIP-Pathways.
If you are graduating from law school during the coming academic year and seek a post-law school graduation internship, apply to the SLIP-Law Clerk. Eligibility is restricted to graduating law students, who, by the application deadline, are formally committed to a qualifying eligibility preserving activity, such as a full-time judicial clerkship, legal fellowship, or graduate law program.
- Law students graduating this academic year who are applying for but have not yet accepted/formally committed to a qualifying eligibility preserving activity should apply to the Attorney General's Honors Program and, upon formally committing to an eligibility preserving activity, log into their application and transfer to the Summer Law Intern Program.
