*If you are unable to meet the initial registration deadline, you may still post your opening and we will  include it in our weekly email to students about new opportunities.

EMPLOYERS, PLEASE NOTE:
The initial timeframe for employers to register and post an opportunity is October 1 through January 15; however, the resume collection service will be open to in-house employers until April 2016.

Please keep in mind that most law students will apply, interview and secure their internships for the upcoming summer by the end of February since many legal employers (law firms, judges and government agencies) hire in the winter. Thus, for in-house legal departments to compete effectively with other legal employers, we encourage you to post your internship opportunities by January 15.

However, we also strongly recommend that employers post internship opportunities only when the employer is ready to actively engage in filling those positions. That is, please make sure you interview and communicate the outcome of your interviews with student applicants within thirty days after the posting is available to students. If an employer posts an opportunity before January 15 but waits months before scheduling interviews, the employer will find that many applicants will have moved on, assuming that the employer was not interested in their applications.

For those in-house employers that may not be prepared to conduct interviews and extend offers until after the end of February, you are still encouraged to make use of this platform at that time, as there may always be some number of students who, like you, are not able to commit themselves to summer employment until later in the spring.

Once a student has interviewed for a position, we encourage employers to communicate with the students about the employer’s time frame for making a decision. If an offer or rejection is not forthcoming within 2 weeks, you are encouraged to communicate with the students to keep them updated.

Eligible Schools

The pilot phase of the ACC Internship Program will be open only to Stanford Law School students, to allow us to more closely monitor the recruiting process for both employers and students and to make adjustments to the program. After the pilot phase, students from additional Bay Area law schools will be invited to participate in the program.

Eligible Students

This program will be made available to all first-year, second-year, and third year JD. students as well as LLM students.

• Note: Our LL.M. students are experienced attorneys from Europe, Latin America and Asia who are enrolled in a one year program in the Corporate Governance and Practice Program, the Law Science and Technology Program or the Environmental Law and Policy Program. They have experience with capital markets, corporate M&A, arbitration and antitrust, tech transactions, privacy and data protection, energy and land use.

Please note that any student (J.D. or LLM) who is not a U.S. Citizen or permanent U.S. resident may be eligible to work in the U.S for up to 12 months under his/her current student visa without any need for employer sponsorship. Students work with the University’s International office to process work authorization permits.

Eligible Employers

Employers who are SFBA AAC members may participate in our program.
