Each year we visit law schools throughout the country, and seek resumés from yet other schools, to select candidates for our summer associate program. In reviewing candidates, we evaluate undergraduate performance, law school achievement, previous employment experience, extracurricular involvement in schools, interpersonal skills and genuine interest in practicing law within our community and with our law firm. We staff our summer program with the goal of satisfying our needs for new attorneys each fall. A full summer commitment typically is recommended for those who have not previously worked with us. Split summer requests are handled on a case-by-case basis.
A complete list of scheduled visits and firm interviewers is provided on the On-Campus Interview Schedule . Further, in an effort to meet interested first year students, we host an Annual Holiday Reception during late December. Interested students are encouraged to contact us for further information. Over the last few years, several students who we first met at this annual holiday reception have joined us as summer associates.
We consistently hire our new associates from the Summer Associates Program ; however, we often interview exceptional third-year law students for associate positions based on practice area needs.
