Pacific Gas and Electric Company Seeks Applicants

For Its 2012 Summer Internship Diversity Pipeline Program

We thrive on diversity at Pacific Gas and Electric Company and strive to cultivate a workplace where inclusion, acceptance and mutual respect are standard. We are also committed to increasing the diversity of attorneys practicing energy law. With this commitment in mind, in 2007 PG&E’s Law Department established its Diversity Pipeline Program. This program provides law students with an opportunity to experience PG&E’s multifaceted legal practice, interact with attorneys from various law firms, and network with former Diversity Pipeline Program interns.

During the eight-week internship program at PG&E's San Francisco office, up to four (4) first-year law students will receive a variety of work assignments in multiple practice areas which may include litigation, commercial and regulatory matters. The interns will also learn first-hand about PG&E’s business operations and interact with the Law Department’s business clients. Each student will receive an hourly rate of compensation targeted to equate to a $6,000 per-month salary. All compensation is subject to employee withholding.

The program is expected to begin on Monday, June 4, 2012 and to conclude on Friday, July 27, 2012.

Selection criteria include a strong academic record, personal or professional achievement in overcoming hardship, and a demonstrated commitment to diversity. This program is only available to students who are currently first-year law students.

Applications are due no later than Thursday, January 19, 2012 and must include each of the following:

· Resume

· First-year course writing sample (limited to ten (10) pages)

· Personal statement addressing selection criteria (limited to three (3) pages)

· First-year, first semester grades, if available

Applicants are responsible for assuring that their application is timely, accurate, and complete. Please send applications by email to:

LawPipelineResumes@pge.com

If you are selected as a finalist, you will be asked to participate in an in-person or video conference interview on a mutually convenient date between February 6th and February 17th. Please make every effort to attend in-person, if possible.

PG&E provides equal opportunity in employment and advancement for all qualified persons without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or any non-job related factor.
