Marva Jones Brooks Summer Internship
The Marva Jones Brooks Summer Internship is awarded to young minority women and men currently in high school who have shown an interest in pursuing a legal education and becoming attorneys. It is the firm’s hope that their experiences with AGG will inspire them to continue on that path. The internship has been named in honor of AGG’s distinguished partner, Marva Jones Brooks.

The recipient of the inaugural internship for the Summer of 2008 was Chelseay Parks, a student at the South Cobb Magnet School in Cobb County, Georgia. Chelseay’s internship ran from July through August, and she shadowed our attorneys and worked on firm projects to give her a complete picture of a career in law. 

AGG will be selecting the next recipient of the Marva Jones Brooks Internship for the Summer of 2009. If you or someone you know may be interested, please contact the Recruiting Department.    
 
High School Pipeline Project for Minority Students
AGG hosted the State Bar lunch and a one-on-one mentoring session as part of the 2008 High School Pipeline Project for Minority Students. The summer program targets high school students and has two primary objectives: improving students skills in grammar, writing and speech to assist them in college and law school; and providing mentoring sessions with members of the judiciary and attorneys who can inspire, educate and motivate students to consider law as a career.
