Summer Judicial Internship Diversity Project

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Summer Judicial Internship Diversity ("SJID") Project. The SJID Project is national in scope and will place law students as judicial interns in federal appellate, district, bankruptcy, magistrate and select state appellate judges' chambers across the country. 


The SJID Project's goal is to provide highly qualified law students from underrepresented backgrounds in the legal profession with summer judicial internships. Over 150 judges have already registered to participate in our efforts and are looking to the SJID Project for summer interns. 


We would greatly appreciate your time and effort in helping the SJID Project move forward! There are three different volunteer opportunities that are available during the SJID Project. 


Deadline to register is April 1, 2025. 


*Please note that volunteers should have a legal background with an understanding of the expectations and standards for performance in a state/federal judge’s chambers. Current law students will not be considered to evaluate the candidates. 


JTB will follow up with you for further details once you have signed up. If you have any questions, please contact Cristina Figueroa at sjidproject@jtb.org.
Volunteer Opportunities
Please select the volunteer opportunities you plan to participate in. Please ensure you are able to review the candidates during the time you sign up for. JTB relies on this registration to assign candidates to volunteers and any reviewer who opts out unexpectedly leaves students without a reviewer. We appreciate your time and work in reviewing JTB candidates.
