2026 Summer Series for Law Students

It’s that time of the year! Law students are arriving in Jacksonville for the summer to participate in internships and summer associate programs in our local legal community. Through its annual Summer Series, the Bench Bar Fund of the Middle District of Florida and the Jacksonville Federal Court Bar Association will welcome these students to the Jacksonville legal community and introduce them to all aspects of federal practice.

For eight weeks over the summer, law students can attend various courtroom proceedings and learn about federal practice by attending hearings, getting an inside look at the grand jury, and more. Please download the attached flyer for a full list of events and descriptions. Events are free, courtesy of the Bench Bar Fund of the Middle District of Florida. We hope that you encourage your interns or summer associates to attend as many of these events as possible. Please see the Upcoming Events tab to register. Space is limited so please register early!
