Judicial Intern Opportunity Program (JIOP)


ABA Litigation Section

Judicial Intern Opportunity Program
Applications Accepted Starting November 6th

The American Bar Association’s Litigation Section is a place where law students become engaged in the legal profession and where Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is advanced. One example is the Section’s Judicial Intern Opportunity Program (JIOP). JIOP is a summer internship program open to all first- and second-year underrepresented law students.

Selected students intern for six weeks or more during the summer with a participating state or federal judge. The program offers a $2,000 award to each selected student. Students can also elect law school credit.

Summer 2024 applications will be accepted for all students starting on November 6, 2023. The deadline for applying is January 12, 2024. Last year, JIOP offered internships to 159 law students representing 80 different law schools in locations throughout the country. The goal is to place 160 students during Summer 2024.

Please review the program description and frequently asked questions. The program application and detailed program information will be live on the JIOP website on or after Nov. 6 at ambar.org/jiop. Applications are only accepted electronically through the JIOP website. Contact JIOP Program Director Gail Howard with additional questions at gail.howard@americanbar.org or (312) 988-6348.

Apply early. Last year’s program had more than 770 applications. Screening interviews are guaranteed for the first 500 applicants. Other students will be screened on an as-needed basis.

Membership in the ABA and Litigation Section is free for law students. Students can join at ambar.org/joinlt or by calling (800) 285-2221 for access to the Section’s multimedia resources, professional development opportunities, and content from our 35 practice-specific committees.
