| Description: | |
| Note: Check with Oregon law schools’ Career Services for internal requirements and deadlines. This program is available to any law student who can assist the D&I Department in advancing its mission. Clerkship Stipends provide legal employment opportunities for those law students who intend to practice law in Oregon and who will help the D&I Department advance its mission. Applicants are not required to be enrolled in an Oregon law school. The D&I Department will rank applications according to economic disadvantage, the potential that the clerkships will advance the students practical experience and networking in Oregons legal community, and other considerations. Page 4 Diversity & Inclusion Registration 2012 The students selected for stipends are responsible for finding employment under the program. The employment should be in Oregon although the committee will consider waiving this requirement if the position offers the student special experience not available within the state. If the student does not find a law-related position by the deadline, the student must arrange for an extension or forfeit the stipend to a student-alternate. The stipend period does not extend into the academic year. Each stipend is $7.00 per hour and each employer must agree to match at least $7.00 per hour. The stipend recipient must inform the D&I Department if the total of the stipend and employer portion exceed the hourly rate of a comparable clerks position in the same office. The employer must be in the legal field and the students supervisor must be an attorney. No employer may employ more than two students for summer clerkships at any one time under this program | |
