Hall Render sponsors a summer internship program for diverse college students who have an interest in law and/or the health care field. In 2022, internship opportunities will be available in the Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Indianapolis, IN; and Milwaukee, WI offices

“In 2017, I was an undergraduate intern at Hall Render — my first law firm experience. As a first generation college student, it was an incredibly proud moment for me.

 

In 2018, I started law school and, after interning at Hall Render, I knew health law was my passion.

 

In 2019, I returned as a 1L clerk and loved every minute of it! In 2020, I returned again as a 2L clerk and couldn’t be happier.

 

I will always hold Hall Render in a high regard because they see the value in diversity inclusion, mentorship and kindness. They invest time and effort in helping me achieve my goals.

 

No matter where my career takes me, I will always be grateful for this firm.”

— Krystal Villarruel, Hall Render Attorney and Former Hall Render Diversity Internship Program Participant

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Hall Render believes that diversity, including differences in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities and religious or political beliefs, increases the value of our law firm by allowing us to deliver innovative health law services from various points of view. We are committed to increasing the number of diverse entrants to law school. Additionally, we desire to grow the number of diverse entrants who express an interest in the field of health care and health law in particular. Interns will gain valuable experience in various aspects of legal work, including research and writing projects, client meetings and firm administration.
