2014 LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT SUMMER CLERKSHIP COMPETITIONS
SPONSORED BY
THE WASHINGTON STATE BAR ASSOCIATION AND
THE KING COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION
TWO SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS - $6,000.00 each
DEADLINE: FRIDAY, APRIL 4, @ 12:00 NOON
Below is information about two summer clerkship opportunities for non-graduating students (including 1L students).
The two scholarships are sponsored by the Labor and Employment Sections of the WSBA and the KCBA, respectively. The clerkship awards fund summer employment with a public interest component in the labor and employment law field. You can find the detailed application Guidelines on the Labor and Employment Law (LELA) TWEN site. If you are interested, review the guidelines and prepare now by contacting the potential placement organization where you would like to gain experience and interviewing to determine if it is willing to host you for summer employment if you win one of the two summer clerkship competitions. The best news is that when the potential employers understand that the student’s salary is paid for, they are thrilled and often jump at the chance to have a fully-funded summer employee, providing you with the incredible opportunity to gain experience in the field!
Interested students should:
1. Read the Guidelines posted on the Labor and Employment Law (LELA) TWEN site.
2. Decide on the qualifying agency that you would like to work for. (The Guidelines include a list of qualifying agencies. If an organization of your choice does not appear on the list, however, inquire with Professor Natasha Martin or Professor Charlotte Garden to determine whether the agency meets the requirements for acceptable placements set forth in the Guidelines.
3. Interview with your chosen agency and verify that, if you win one of the awards, it will allow you to work there fully funded this summer. Then submit your application by 12:00 NOON on FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2014. (Candidates submit only one application which is considered for both awards by the selection committee.)
For further information, see the LELA TWEN site or contact the Labor and Employment Law Faculty Members, Advisor Professor Natasha Martin (nmartin@seattleu.edu) as well as Professor Charlotte Garden (gardenc@seattleu.edu).
