Law Students
Opportunities to participate in our summer internship program are available for
law students who demonstrate ability, motivation, academic excellence and good
interpersonal skills. We give our summer program top priority, and invest
significant resources to train and prepare summer associates for their careers
following law school.
The summer program is coordinated by a team of attorneys and
our recruiting staff, who arrange numerous activities to provide broad exposure
to legal work and practice at the Firm. Summer associates attend closings,
motion hearings, depositions and trials, and participate in an in-house mock
trial. Training programs emphasize practical skills in legal writing, research,
professional ethics and responsibility, litigation, and computer technology.
Summer associates experience a hands-on approach to the practice of law.
Flexibility is a key component of the program. Each summer
associate is able to choose projects in a variety of areas. The diversity of
experiences, coupled with the availability of staff, library resources, and
technology, ensure the summer associate's growth and development in an area
that is professionally gratifying.
In addition to bi-weekly meetings with program coordinators,
and one-on-one evaluations, each summer associate is assigned a mentor to
provide guidance and feedback. Several social events are arranged to allow
opportunities to meet our attorneys and to ensure program participants play as
hard as they work.
We are eager to share the dynamic environment of Thompson
Coburn LLP with our summer associates.
