Eversheds Sutherland Scholars Program

The program's goal is to demystify the law school experience by exposing participants to introductory courses in contracts and legal writing. Lessons are taught by an Emory University School of Law professor. Additionally, our attorneys and other legal professionals provide valuable law school and industry insight and advice through networking events and attorney panel discussions.

Since its inception, more than 400 ES Scholars have graduated from the program, and 95% of that group have been accepted into law schools across the country. In 2017, the program was awarded the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA) George B. Vashon Innovator Award, which recognized Eversheds Sutherland for excellence in innovative practices and commitment in assisting diverse attorneys.

The program is offered at no cost to participants and includes:

Introduction to contracts, legal writing, and bluebooking

Panel discussions including topics such as:

Admissions guidelines to law schools and law firm recruitment

A practical approach to assignments, reading, and studying strategies

Resume workshops and mock interviews

Networking with fellow ES Scholars, ES Scholars Alums, Eversheds Sutherland attorneys, and other legal professionals

A modest stipend upon successful completion of the program

About the Eversheds Sutherland Program
The program is offered for three weeks during the summer from Monday, June 6, 2022 to Friday, June 24, 2022, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. every weeknight. The first two weeks will be held virtually and will consist of abbreviated introductory courses on contracts, legal writing, and blue-booking, each taught by an Emory Law professor. The final week of panel discussions, workshops, and other programming will be held in person separately (but concurrently) for each of the two cohorts in our offices in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. Housing is not provided.
