Judicial Intern Opportunity Program

The mission of the Judicial Intern Opportunity Program Committee is to provide opportunities to students who are members of racial and ethnic groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the profession, students with disabilities, students who are economically disadvantaged, students who identify themselves as LGBT, and women. As a resource to new practitioners and JIOP alums, the committee provides its members with numerous educational and professional development benefits, including publications and the opportunity for authorship, career and leadership opportunities, and social events. Its membership includes JIOP alums, program volunteers, sponsors, judges, and others wanting to become more involved in the Section’s Good Works Projects. Committee members participate in a variety of activities including screening interviews, speaking at orientations and receptions, and becoming part of the JIOP mentoring circle program.
