Please continue to read for important information.
This will be our 34th straight summer to conduct the Summer Law Internship Program (SLIP 34). The Atlanta Bar Association Summer Law Internship Program for High School Students (SLIP) offers paid summer internships to Atlanta area high school students who seek a challenging internship experience. Founded in 1993, SLIP was designed to achieve three goals: (1) to provide a valuable and meaningful work experience; (2) to further the Interns’ understanding of the law and the importance of the Rule of Law; and (3) to promote mentor relationships with the Atlanta legal community. Again, only current Juniors and Seniors (Classes of 2026 and 2027) are eligible to apply in 2026.
The 2026 Internship Program will run from May 27, 2026 to July 17, 2026. This is a rigorous, all-in program and not for everybody. Any student selected will need to fully commit to the entire eight weeks. You are 100% in, or you are not. We do not allow for conflicts for long- planned family vacations, sports commitments, camps etc. The Internship Program primarily partners with law firms and organizations in the Atlanta area. Ninety-five (95)% plus of our placements are inside interstate 285. Although we welcome applications from students who live outside the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, if selected, the student will need to be prepared for a lengthy commute.
SLIP is delighted to have been able to make available over 980 paid internships in SLIP’s first thirty-three years. Seventy-three former Atlanta Bar Summer Law Interns have gone on to law school, including fifteen former Interns that are in law school this year with nine of those 1L’s.
