MISSION

The Sonia & Celina Sotomayor Judicial Internship Program (The Sotomayor Program) seeks to cultivate and develop future leaders from underserved communities through judicial internships, educational experiences, and the resources necessary to achieve their professional goals.

VISION

A legal profession reflecting America’s diversity where all have the confidence, tools, and courage to achieve their ambitions and contribute to a better and stronger democracy.

For the interns placed with The Sotomayor Program, the opportunities that come with the program are endless.  In addition to attending various structure activities, such as observing court proceedings and participating in education workshops, our interns are provided direct access to some of the nation’s preeminent legal minds who practice law at the highest levels-something that students from underserved communities are infrequently exposed to.
