ABCNEWS.com, and ABC News Now the 24-hour news services of ABC News, enable multiple platform distribution, including cable/VOD, broadband & wireless delivery, of ABC News programming. The Law & Justice Unit of ABC News offers unpaid internships to currently enrolled juniors, seniors and graduate students. (Sophomores may apply for the next summer). The Law & Justice Unit is a group of former attorneys and award winning producers who generate, report, and produce major legal stories for all of the network?s news programs -- including World News Tonight, Good Morning America, PrimeTime, 20/20 and Nightline. We work on subjects ranging from crime mysteries to Supreme Court rulings, civil liberties, juvenile justice, the death penalty, or terrorism. As a division of the Investigative Projects Unit, the Law & Justice Unit has also contributed to the network's coverage of Sept. 11 and its aftermath, the Columbia shuttle accident, and other major news stories such as the Iraq war. Interns do administrative work but also conduct extensive research for national, and sometimes international, stories, screen video, and learn about reporting and television news. They can attend shoots which take place in New York and see pieces being cut in the edit room. There is no limit to what the best interns can do. The Unit works with ABC?s Senior Legal Correspondent Christopher Cuomo. Internship specifications: we hire interns year round, for very flexible durations; part-time or full time, but with a minimum commitment of two days per week. Based on our experience, the more days interns commit to the internship, the more they are able to get involved, and the more rewarding it is for them. Interns must receive credit for their internship, unless the university does not offer this option ? in which case the internship must be endorsed by the university. Only juniors, seniors, and graduate students are eligible. Sophomore may apply for the summer following completion of their sophomore year. Students are no longer eligible after graduation unless they are enrolled in graduate school Primary contact is Sylvie Rottman, rather than Deborah Katz. Ms. Rottman can be reached at 21-456-6073 and her e-mail is sylvie.rottman@abc.com. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Sidley Prelaw Scholars Initiative is designed to help address this threshold issue by meeting the specific needs of racially-diverse students seeking to attend law school. Sidley Prelaw Scholars, chosen from college juniors and seniors who demonstrate academic promise and financial need, will receive a $2,500 stipend to cover both tuition in a commercial LSAT preparation course, as well as application fees for as many as seven accredited law schools. Over twenty colleges and universities are slated to participate in the program nation-wide. "Sidley has a significant commitment to achieving greater ethnic and racial diversity within the legal profession and the firm. We wanted to develop a program that would widen the pipeline by helping to eliminate barriers at an earlier stage in a student's career," said Thomas A. Cole, chairman of the firm's Executive Committee. "Our diversity committee and staff are to be congratulated for developing this creative approach." Other critical components of the program include: coaching on how to complete a successful law school application; an additional $2,500 in scholarship assistance for the senior year of college; and pre-law school seminar instruction on the structure of the American legal system, as well as an introduction to the substance of the required common law first-year courses. "From my personal experience as a graduate of a historically black university, I know that there is a need for more financial assistance for students from historically black colleges and universities ("HBCUs") who are hopeful of obtaining professional degrees. We believe that the Sidley Prelaw Scholars Initiative will create opportunities for graduates at HBCUs and for financially needy students from other institutions," said Stanley Stallworth. Stallworth is the firm-wide Co-chair of the firm's Committee on Racial and Ethnic Diversity, which is responsible for implementing the firm's policies and initiatives relating to diversity and inclusion. Drawing upon her background as an admissions professional at the University of Chicago Law School, firmwide Diversity Manager Kathryn R. Stell will be overseeing the Sidley Prelaw Scholars Initiative. "Working with minority undergraduates made me acutely aware of the financial barriers preventing minority students from becoming viable law school candidates. The Sidley Scholars Initiative helps meet those needs of minority pre-law candidates." Eligibility To be considered as a Sidley Prelaw Scholar, one must: Be a second semester junior or senior, graduating from college in good standing no later than June 30, 2007 Be a native-born or naturalized U.S. citizen Timely submit a complete application Demonstrate financial need through the application and supporting materials For the 2006 program, be enrolled at one of the following colleges: Alabama A&M University Columbia University Florida A&M University Fordham University Georgetown University Hampton University Harvard University Howard University Morehouse College New York University Northwestern University Princeton University Spelman College University of California/Berkeley University of California/Los Angeles University of Chicago University of Illinois/Champaign-Urbana University of Miami University of Michigan/Ann Arbor University of Southern California University of Texas/Austin University of Virginia Yale University To apply for the Sidley Prelaw Scholars program, download this application and submit as directed.

There are currently 12 Project Analysts staffed in Mintz Levin's Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C. offices. One of the unique aspects of the Program is the opportunity for Project Analysts to experience various practice areas within the Firm. The Boston Program allows Project Analysts to rotate every eight months into various sections, including: Business and Finance; Employment, Labor and Benefits; Environmental; Healthcare; Immigration; Intellectual Property; Litigation, Real Estate, and Public Finance, as well as Mintz Levin's consulting affiliate, ML Strategies. Project Analysts in the New York office have primarily worked in the areas of Business and Finance, Intellectual Property and Litigation. In Washington, D.C., Project Analysts have worked extensively in the Federal practice area and ML Strategies, and have also been exposed to work in the practice areas of Communications, Healthcare and Litigation. Responsibilities as a Project Analyst can range from financial analysis and trial preparation to client interviews and the organization of legal seminars. Analysts also coordinate and staff many of the firm's pro bono and community service activities. Additional program information can be found on our website at http://www.mintz.com/jobs/projectanalysts/default.cfm. We would appreciate it if you would kindly forward this information to any students you think may be interested in our program. As is noted on our website, Harvard students may apply through eRecruiting until January 31, 2007. We require a resume, cover letter, transcript, and 3-5 page writing sample. If you or any of the members of your group have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly via email or telephone (617-348-4960). As an alumnus, I would love to see Harvard well represented in the Project Analyst Program. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. Very truly yours, Lauren E.

Many thanks to those of you who have already responded. If you have not yet taken a moment to complete the survey, I hope you will consider helping us out. The survey may be found at: http://www.college.harvard.edu/survey/SASsurvey2006.html. Those who complete and submit the survey before midnight, December 11, 2006, will be entered in a drawing for one of two iPod nanos. To ensure the accuracy of your information and to be eligible for the drawing, please submit only once. Many thanks for your help, Bill Wright-Swadel Director of Career Services [A number of people have been confused about how the winners will be selected, since the survey doesn't ask for identifying information. The survey captures your Harvard ID by having you log in with your PIN (you might not see the login if you have your automatic PIN login feature checked). We then use the ID #s to randomly select and contact the two Ipod winners.] -- Gregg Rosenblum Editor Office of Career Services Harvard University 54 Dunster Street Cambridge, MA 02138 http//www.ocs.fas.harvard.edu/index.htm -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
