Kamlet Shepherd Advantage Clerkship Kamlet Shepherd & Reichert, LLP, in partnership with the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, has launched one of the most cutting-edge and innovative programs for diverse law students in the nation. The program, called the Kamlet Shepherd Advantage Clerkship, provides a diverse student who is admitted to the University of Denver Sturm College of Law tangible support and a strong mentoring network of attorneys-before they even begin their first year of class. This support will continue throughout law school and the student's legal career. Top applicants meeting the criteria set out by Kamlet Shepherd and the Sturm College of Law are directed to Kamlet Shepherd for interviews. A finalist is chosen prior to the student starting his or her first year of law school at the Sturm College of Law. No separate application is required for this program.

After the successful completion of the first year of law school, the student may begin a 10-week paid summer associate position, providing not only income, but also additional mentoring, valuable law office experience and opportunities to participate in firm activities.
"The Sturm College of Law has given me invaluable exposure to Denver's legal community through various networking events, career fairs, and career development programs. By having that exposure, I was able to obtain paid summer employment and get the hands-on legal experience that the Sturm College of Law values and implements as an essential part of their curriculum. My summer experience not only allowed me to learn about those important legal subtleties that can't be learned in a classroom, but it also affirmed my enthusiasm about a legal career and my future at the Sturm College of Law and within the greater Denver community." Tradition
The program, founded in the wake of the civil rights movement, held its first summer program at the University of Denver school of law in 1968. Dean Robert Yegge was the driving force behind that first summer program in 1968, and the University works to maintain Dean Yegge's passion for making a legal education available to underrepresented groups. Forty years later, the summer program returned to the Sturm College of Law after decades of being held at other law schools. Click here to view the entire article.
