Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP (“MMM”) is seeking qualified applicants for its 2024 Diversity High School Internship Program in Washington, DC. MMM believes diversity is essential to delivering excellent legal services to our clients and community, and defines diversity broadly to include a wide variety of unique perspectives based on each applicant's background, experience, and personal story. Our program is a two-week, in-house internship designed to give high school students an introduction to the inner workings of a law firm and a professional office setting.
Qualified applicants will be highly motivated students who have successfully completed the 10th grade with at least a B average and who have a genuine interest in learning about the practice of law. The program will begin on July 8, 2024, and end on July 19, 2024. Students selected to participate will be required to work 30 hours per week (Monday through Friday, 9:30am-3:30pm) at our offices near Dupont Circle and will participate in trainings and learning opportunities as well as completing a variety of projects and work assignments. As part of the program, participants will write personal resumes and prepare for and participate in mock interviews. Each participant will receive a wage of $525 per week, to be paid at the end of the internship period.
