Through a variety of extracurricular and educational programs, Cleary attorneys and staff mentor, train, and support students to cultivate meaningful relationships with legal professionals; expand their professional networks; develop valuable academic, professional, and social skills; and gain confidence in themselves, their work, and their futures.
Legal Outreach
Every summer, Cleary hosts a select group of student interns in the Legal Outreach program for a week of legal research, contract negotiation, brief writing, and litigation training.
Washington Irving Campus Program
The Cleary Gottlieb Washington Irving Campus Partnership Program seeks to close the opportunity gap by equipping traditionally underrepresented students with the learning experiences and tools needed to excel as students in higher education, as professionals in the workplace, and as leaders in the community.
Cleary first partnered with Washington Irving High School in 1991 to improve outcomes for underserved public high school students. In its beginning days, the partnership primarily focused on SAT tutoring because standardized testing was viewed as one of the main barriers for underrepresented students in accessing social mobility. Since then, the partnership has grown significantly both with respect to the number of individuals impacted and the range of services offered.
