Our law student program is an exceptional opportunity to elevate your legal skills by doing challenging work alongside experienced attorneys who are passionate about their practice. You will be paired with an associate mentor and a partner who will guide you in handling assignments and workload, introduce you to other attorneys at the firm, advise you about firm practices and expectations, and answer your questions about specific assignments. Your substantive assignments will provide a realistic view of actual practice because they are the same type of work that our associates perform. The assignments come from attorneys in all of the firm’s diverse practice areas so that you experience the depth and complexity of our practice. If you are interested in particular practice areas, we encourage you to seek work from partners and associates in those practice areas. Our attorneys are encouraged to involve you in trials, hearings, depositions, settlement negotiations, and client meetings whenever possible.
Please address cover letter, resume, and a brief, recent writing sample that demonstrates the candidate’s analytical skills to Liz Pitzer, Office Manager at lpitzer@mathenysears.com
