Diversity, Equity And Inclusion Committee

The Shaheen & Gordon Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Summer Program offers a 10-week summer employment opportunity for (2) first- year and (2) second-year law students. The first-year summer associates will spend six weeks working in our NH and ME offices on high-quality legal work with experienced attorneys, followed by four weeks at a regional non-profit partner organization. Placements at non-profits will consider both intern interests and organization needs. The second-year summer associates will spend the entire 10 weeks at Shaheen & Gordon. Interns are paid at the salary rate of a first-year associate.

Upon completion, first-year interns may receive an offer to return, and second-year interns may receive an employment offer. If no positions are available, S&G will assist in finding post-law school employment. The program is open to all law students, regardless of protected characteristics.

Interested students should submit an unofficial transcript, resume/CV, and a personal statement (500-1,000 words) on resilience, academic or leadership achievements, and overcoming adversity. Send materials and questions to Alexander Spadinger, co-chair of the DEI Committee, at aspadinger@shaheengordon.com.
