JIOP provides internship opportunities to students who are members of traditionally underrepresented groups.
The Judicial Intern Opportunity Program provides opportunities to students who are members of groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the profession, including students from minority racial and ethnic groups, students with disabilities, veterans, students who are economically disadvantaged, students who identify as LGBTQ+, women, and others.
We are no longer accepting applications for our Summer 2025 program. JIOP places students with judges for summer internships. We open for our Summer 2026 program in November. Please check back for the link then. In the meantime, please review our Program Information.
Your donation to the ABA Litigation Section's Judicial Intern Opportunity Program (JIOP) helps to fund summer internships and opens doors to a legal career for diverse law students.
