FCBA 1L Diversity Pipeline Program in Washington, D.C. for summer internships in technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) law and policy.
FCBA—the Tech Bar is the premier association for attorneys and other professionals involved in the development and practice of TMT law and policy. Among other things, our bar is known for collegiality and for our outstanding support of young lawyers and of the communities in which we practice. In fact, we have been recognized by the D.C. Bar as the 2023 Voluntary Bar Association of the Year, a testament to our dedication and leadership in the profession and in the community. We also believe it is imperative that the legal profession, and especially the Tech Bar, reflect the full spectrum of talent, perspectives, and experiences in the broader population. Sitting at the cutting-edge intersection of law, public policy, and tech, the FCBA is uniquely suited to attract diverse law students and develop a pathway for them to have long, successful careers in this space.
The Pipeline Program facilitates access to paid internship opportunities for students with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, including those from historically underrepresented and disadvantaged groups immediately following their first year of law school. The Program also includes academic enrichment and skills development components, particularly the TMT Law & Policy Certificate Program. Students will also receive FCBA support and mentoring to develop their legal and policy careers.
