Hiring Process
We seek talented and motivated individuals who share our well-known commitment to excellence. We assess candidates for summer associate positions based on an overall evaluation of their background and strengths. This evaluation includes, but is by no means limited to, academic distinction in law school and undergraduate education. We also look for students with strong motivation and initiative, the ability to take on responsibility, and enthusiasm for private law practice. The firm has long been committed to the highest standards of the profession and public service, and we look actively for new lawyers to continue in that tradition.
Each fall, the firm conducts interviews with law students on many law school campuses, and also routinely considers applications from exceptional students attending schools at which we do not conduct campus interviews. Applicants are requested to provide a current resume, law school transcript, legal writing sample, and lists of references (including faculty and past legal employers, if any). We strive to include students from a number of different law schools in our summer program. This means that we often are unable to give summer offers to as many students from a given school as we would like. We ultimately hire as regular associates many students to whom we were unable to offer summer positions.
