We help the next gen find a pipeline to the legal profession.
At Chapman, we want future generations to have opportunities to become lawyers or law business professionals, so we actively work to mitigate some of the barriers to entry to the legal profession. We volunteer for and financially support organizations that help middle and high school students from underserved communities succeed, and we provide scholarships and paid internships that encourage high school students, college students, and recent graduates to pursue a legal career. Among the programs we offer:
Finance Law Development Program. Law school is a huge expense, especially if you are not quite sure whether being a lawyer is the career for you. That’s why we developed a program that offers salaried positions to recent college graduates who want real-world, hands-on experience before pursuing a JD or other advanced degree.
Finance Law and Law Firm Administrative Internships. We offer two different summer internship programs designed for college students who want to gain hands-on, real-world experience in finance law or law firm administration. Our internships begin with an orientation to introduce finance and legal concepts specific to the internship, after which interns work on meaningful projects that support the firm.
Chapman and Cutler LLP Maynard H. Jackson Jr. Scholarship. In honor of our former partner and first African-American mayor of Atlanta, the late Maynard H. Jackson Jr., Chapman awards a $10,000 scholarship annually to a second-year law student.
Our WorkplacesThe nature of work has changed and so has Chapman. In recent years, five of our six offices relocated into new workspaces designed to be more efficient, healthier, and accommodate our agile workforce. Learn more about our sustainability commitment.
