In principle and in practice, the American Health Lawyers Association values and seeks diverse and inclusive participation within the Association regardless of gender, race, creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin, or disability. The Association welcomes all members as it leads health law to excellence through education, information, and dialogue.
As part of AHLA's initiative to cultivate more diversity among attorneys practicing health law, the Association is working to provide opportunities for talented law students of diverse backgrounds so that they can learn more about this segment of the legal profession. To this end, AHLA's Advisory Council on Diversity sponsors a Diversity Summer Internship each year. The program provides a first or second-year law student with an eight week internship at AHLA's office in Washington, DC where he/she performs various writing and research duties to support publishing and public interest activities. Check back for information regarding the qualifications, salary and duties, and deadline for application.
Aside from writing, researching and editing, the law student intern will also attend networking lunches with local health attorneys from small and large firms, solo practitioners, government attorneys, in-house counsel, etc. and attend the AHLA Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL, a major networking opportunity with health lawyers from around the country while attending select CLE programs and other programs related to the conference.
