Full Job Description
The Silicon Valley office of Morgan Lewis seeks to hire a 1L Diversity Fellow for our 2025 Summer Associate Program.
Building a team of lawyers with diverse perspectives and experiences is a core value at Morgan Lewis. Not only is it a business imperative, it is part of our strategic focus.

* Have the ability to bring a unique and authentic perspective to the firm as a result of life experiences.
* Have outstanding leadership skills, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to exceptional client service.
* Be genuinely interested in a career with Morgan Lewis and demonstrate interest in supporting DEIA efforts at the firm and throughout the legal profession.
* Be a US citizen or otherwise authorized to work in the United States.
Process:
Interested students should submit the following in support of their candidacy: resume, law school and undergraduate transcripts, writing sample, and a personal statement (max 500 words) addressing how you will contribute to Morgan Lewis's inclusive culture and diverse community. This can include prior experiences that have shaped and/or demonstrated your commitment to diversity and inclusion.
