Why should I apply?
You should apply to this program because it offers a professional development and mentorship experience with content developed considering the needs of law school students from historically underrepresented groups in the industry. This program gives you access and exposure to an in-house legal department, a career choice you may not have heard much about in law school. You will also practice valuable skills like networking and interviewing, and grow your network of legal and public policy professionals and law students.

I am starting my 1L year. Can I apply?
Not yet. This program is only for rising 2Ls and 3Ls. Please be sure to check back next year when you are eligible. 

I am a part-time law student. Can I apply?
Yes. 

I am an LLM student. Can I apply?
Yes, however priority may be given to rising 2Ls and 3Ls.

Will I receive compensation or school credit for this program?
No. This program is a learning path and opportunity for mentorship and networking.

I attend law school outside of the United States, can I apply? 
No. We are currently only accepting applications from students currently enrolled in a law school program in the United States. 

How will recipients be chosen?
Applicants who meet basic eligibility requirements will be reviewed. There will be a 15-minute interview conducted in March and April of 2025. Participants will be chosen based on their alignment with our program goals, commitment to active participation, and demonstrated opportunity to benefit from the program offerings.

I have an internship/externship for the summer. Should I still apply? 
Yes. We encourage you to apply for the program. This program is meant to enhance your professional development. If selected, we ask that you speak with your internship advisor/manager to let them know you would like to participate in LinkedIn’s program and that this may take an hour or two of your time during the workday (typically Wednesdays between 9 AM – 1 PM PT). 

I will have a conflict with the orientation/panel/event. Should I still apply? 
Yes. We understand that conflicts may arise between our program and your personal/work schedule. However, participants should not miss more than two events over the summer to receive a certificate of completion.

Will participation in the program lead to a legal internship or a job offer at LinkedIn? 
At this time, we do not offer legal internships. Program participants have access to coaching, mentoring, and professional development. The skills learned and knowledge shared in this one-of-a-kind opportunity will help students prepare for their careers.  

When will I be notified of my interview or if I have been accepted into the program?
All interviews will be conducted in March and April. Those accepted into the program will be notified by May 1^st.
