We recently had the privilege of hosting four talented students from local area schools as part of the Legal Outreach Summer Internship Program (SIP). The SIP introduces rising sophomores to professional environments through simulated exercises. Participating firms provide a one-week internship to expose students to the practice of law and inspire their aspirations. Our volunteers led contract negotiation workshops, coaching the interns to represent clients in a mock dispute. The students learned about various aspects of being a lawyer, culminating in a successful negotiation exercise. Thank you to our interns and volunteers for making this program a success!
