Brann & Isaacson Proudly Continues to Support the Maine Diversity Summer Associate (D1L) Program
At Brann & Isaacson, we recognize and appreciate the importance of creating a workplace environment that accepts and draws from a range of backgrounds and perspectives to ensure that our clients, attorneys, and employees all benefit from our best work informed by diverse viewpoints. To that end, we are pleased to announce our continuing participation in the Maine Diversity Summer Associate Program. Now in its sixth year, the D1L initiative focuses on building a diverse legal community in Maine by attracting a diverse pool of first-year law students from across the country for a 10-week paid summer internship at one of the participating organization’s Maine locations.
The first-year law students accepted to the program will have the opportunity to experience legal practice and life in Maine, participate in professional development programs, and build their social and business networks within the participating organizations and the larger legal community. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to build a stronger, more diverse community of legal professionals in Maine.
The open application process begins on November 13, 2023, and will continue on a rolling basis until December 29, 2023. Candidates must have an excellent academic record, exceptional writing ability, strong analytical and interpersonal skills, and demonstrated self-confidence. The program will run from May 28-August 2, 2024.
Interested students should submit a cover letter, resume, current law school transcript, and a brief personal statement concerning their commitment to diversity and inclusion and/or why they believe diversity and inclusion are important in the legal profession. Interviews will occur on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, and offers will be extended in February. Please click here for more information and application instructions.
