Our firm has traditionally hired one or more law clerks each summer, to assist our lawyers with legal research, writing, case management, document review and preparation, and litigation. Most of the associate attorney’s we hav hired over the past several decades have come through this summer program. We value this program because it helps prepare new lawyers for their careers, assists our clients, and give us an opportunity to hire the best and brightest new attorneys. While we have hired lawyers laterally from other firms, from time to time, many of these attorney’s were formerly summer associates with our firm.
Overview of a Summer Clerkship with The Firm
We seek highly motivated individuals with maturity, excellent legal skills and diverse backgrounds. We set the highest standards for our legal work and for the attorneys who work with the Firm. We strive to provide our summer associates to get as much exposure as possible to the practice areas in which they have expressed interest. We also work to provide the opportunity for each of our summer associates to be exposed to all of the lawyers and practice areas in our firm. By virtue of the nature of litigation proceedings, our summer associates typically get significant exposure to litigation matters
The Firm's attorneys handle litigation matters all over the state, especially throughout western North Carolina. Summer Associates in past years have been able to travel with our lawyers to attend trials, hearings, depositions, mediation, arbitrations, and related litigation proceedings. A summer law clerk with the Firm will find herself or himself working on a wide range of legal topics and areas of law. Overall, the Firm offers a summer clerkship that is challenging, rewarding, and experience-building.
We are strongly committed to equal employment opportunities for all applicants. Therefore, we encourage and invite all law students who believe they have the attributes we seek and who feel they would be challenged by our type of practice to interview with us.
