Texas Minority Counsel Program (TMCP)

The Texas Minority Counsel Program (TMCP) is the premier client development, networking, and CLE event for attorneys in Texas. The TMCP was created in 1993 with the mission of increasing opportunities for diverse attorneys who provide legal services to corporate and governmental clients, and to expose organizations to the legal talent of diverse attorneys in Texas. The program, which is open to all attorneys, aims to bolster the amount and significance of legal work obtained by minority, women, and LGBTQ+ attorneys, and attorneys of other groups historically underrepresented.

TMCP Summer Internship Program

The Texas Minority Counsel Program (TMCP) invites eligible law students to apply for its inaugural Summer Internship Program, which will provide placement opportunities for Summer 2023.

The TMCP Summer Internship Program is intended to provide qualified law students who completed their first year of law school with career building opportunities at participating law firms and the corporate legal departments they serve. The law student will first work at a participating law firm, and then, spend some time interning for the partnering corporate legal department. The goal is to provide students with relevant legal experience and networking opportunities that will set them up for success during the all-important second-year fall interviewing period and eventually as they seek permanent employment as an attorney.
