Law Links is a 7-week, paid summer internship that places Baltimore City public high school juniors and seniors in law firms and law-related agencies. Interns work full-time, Monday through Friday, and are paid $15/hour. In addition to the on-site internship, students also participate in the Law & Leadership Institute - a 50-hour educational seminar that begins with a 2-1/2 day orientation and resumes each Wednesday morning. The Institute is held at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law.

The internship is much more than a summer-jobs program: it is designed to effectively prepare young people to work in a professional setting. As part of their participation in Law Links, youth are outfitted with professional attire from either Ann Taylor or Joseph A. Banks. This removes the question of what constitutes "appropriate" professional dress, and also ensures no student is at a financial disadvantage in purchasing business attire when beginning the internship.
