About the Diversity Pipeline Program<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The\u00a0FCBA Diversity Pipeline Program\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>aims to attract, develop, and support first-year law students with diverse experiences and backgrounds who are interested in pursuing legal careers in technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) law and policy. To achieve this, the FCBA Diversity Pipeline Committee established two pioneering programs in 2020: the\u00a0Diversity Pipeline Summer Internship Program\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>and the\u00a0TMT Law & Policy Certificate Program<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The impact of the Diversity Pipeline Program extends far and wide, providing a significant jump start to the careers of Student Participants. Since its inception, the Program has received an impressive response from students and employers alike. Nearly 400 students have applied, and over 100 of them have been placed in summer internships at leading law firms, corporations, and trade and non-profit associations. Also, approximately 140 students have participated in the substantive TMT Law & Policy Certificate Program, learning about foundational and cutting edge issues, such as media and broadband regulation, artificial intelligence, to antitrust and content regulation.\u00a0You can find out more about the Program\u2019s accomplishments and progress in the\u00a0Year 4 Annual Report.<\/em><\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The core objectives of the Program are to introduce a greater number of diverse law students to the practice of TMT law and to help them pursue and succeed in internships that will lead to careers in the field. As the Tech Bar, the FCBA is uniquely positioned to serve as a valuable resource to connect diverse law students interested in TMT law and policy with public and private organizations.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
