2027 Montgomery County Summer Scholars Program Info Session

Register

Join us for an information session about the Montgomery County Summer Scholars Program: A Pipeline Program designed to link law school students with Montgomery County Law Firms. The application for summer 2027 will be due in October 2026.

Overview

The Summer Scholars Program is a concerted effort by Montgomery County, Maryland’s legal community to promote the hiring and subsequent success of a diverse community of law students and attorneys in the County. The Summer Scholars Pipeline Program partners the Montgomery County Bar Foundation, specialty bar associations, local law firms and regional law schools to identify 12 second year law students to compete for 12 summer intern positions within participating Montgomery County law firms. The selected students will be hired for summer internships with the hopes that their experiences will create a pipeline for a diverse group of talented soon-to-be-lawyers who might eventually join the ranks of Montgomery County practitioners.
Compensation
Each student will be paid a stipend of $12,000 for the summer internship.

Selection Criteria

2L Students are invited to participate in the Summer Scholars Program. Applicants must submit a writing sample to be assessed by the participating law firm. They must also rank in the top 50% of their class and, if not in the top 25%, demonstrate a commitment to excellence and/or exceptional perseverance in some aspect of their lives. The selected law students will receive information about each of the law firms who are participating in the Program. Students will then participate in a speed interview process where the law firms will interview each student.
