The Akin Gump Summer Pro Bono Scholars Program provides top first-year law students interested in law firm practice the opportunity to develop an early expertise in public interest law. The skills acquired during this program build a foundation for pro bono work and billable practice that will serve participants throughout their careers. The program spans two summers, with the Pro Bono Scholars working both at the firm and at a public interest organization during the first summer as rising 2Ls. The next summer as a rising 3L, the Pro Bono Scholars join the firm as participants in the firm’s general summer associate program. In 2016, the Pro Bono Scholars Program will be offered in our Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C. offices.

From Texas Law student Jack Polisini (2015 Houston Pro Bono Scholar/2016 Houston 2L Summer Associate): You would be hard pressed to find a better summer program out there than the Akin Gump Pro Bono Scholars Program. Thanks to Akin Gump, I had the unique opportunity to work for a large law firm, perform public interest work and work in-house directly under the General Counsel at a great organization. All in one summer! In my time at the firm’s Houston office, I was immersed in a variety of pro bono projects with a family of attorneys whose shared enthusiasm for pro bono work is unparalleled. Next, at the KIPP Foundation in San Francisco, I was able to pursue my interest in narrowing the education gap nationwide while working directly with the General Counsel. My work was hands on, substantive, and extremely gratifying. Akin Gump’s extensive pro bono connections introduced me to an organization that I will be closely involved with for the entirety of my legal career. My summer with Akin Gump dramatically exceeded my expectations and the legal experience I received was unmatched by any other summer program. I cannot wait to return to Akin Gump next year.
