Thank you for your interest in the Berkeley Summer In-house Program (BSIP). This is a very exciting time for our students to get exposure to legal practice from the perspective of inside counsel. Please note that this program is intended to complement, not replace, any existing plans or processes your company may have for hiring summer interns.

Below is a general description of the process and timeline. If you have any questions, please email BSIP@berkeley.edu.
