Our Summer Program is a 10-week immersion in the real-world practice of law. You will be an active member of legal teams working on important projects.

  • Time management and timekeeping tips
  • Individualized writing coaching
  • Pro bono opportunities in areas of interest

If you have questions regarding the application process or the firm’s on-campus events, please contact the legal recruiting team member in the office in which you are interested in applying.  

Interviews

To make the on-campus recruiting process as seamless as possible, we interview centrally on-campus for all offices that have a summer program. Candidates who apply directly online may be contacted by phone for a preliminary interview. If you are selected for a call-back interview, you will be contacted by recruiting staff in the appropriate office(s) to schedule interview dates.

During call-back interviews you will meet with key lawyers and recruiting staff. These visits give you an opportunity to ask as many questions as you like, helping you learn more about the firm, our culture and our clients. Following these interviews, we strive to extend offers as quickly as possible. We are happy to schedule follow-up interviews if there are additional questions you have or more attorneys you would like to meet. We look forward to learning more about you and telling you more about our story!
