[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s a little weird that any well regarded law firm would take children to “intern” over the summer. These are rising high school juniors? They’d need to house them, feed them, ensure their safety? I don’t get this “program” where children are meant to find their own places to live [/quote]

I work in Big Oil and we used to take on HS students for interns.  They mostly did admin work.  So, yes, totally possible that Big Law does the same thing.[/quote]

I work with a lot of law firms and have not seen meaningful summer internships for high school students that expect kids to move to another city. They might do a mentorship program with local HS students, or a career day. There are summer jobs, usually for kids of clients or partners, but they tend to be pretty basic. I worked for a law firm at 18 and it was tedious doc review kind of work (although I was glad to have the job).

I haven’t read all the posts but the scholarship offer seems unusual as well. There have been some URM scholarships in the past but for law school, not college. And those have all changed with DEI backlash. [/quote]
