Cultivate and develop future leaders from underserved communities through judicial internships, educational experiences, and the resources necessary to achieve their professional goals.

Now Accepting Law School Student Applications for Summer 2025

The Sotomayor Program selects law school interns from a pool of highly qualified applicants who bring a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and talents. The Program is open to all law students attending an ABA approved law school.

Our Summer 2025 Program will run for 8–10 weeks on a full-time basis and include professional development training, networking opportunities, and wellness programming concurrent to the judicial internship. The Program is committed to providing professional development opportunities to help students prepare for future career planning. We anticipate that internships and programming will be in person.
