Summer AssociatesEllis Lawhorne’s Summer Associate Program provides a valuable educational experience for law students. The program allows students to apply the abstract legal principles and theories learned in law school to a wide range of matters being handled by the firm. Because the program is our most significant hiring resource for new associates, the firm’s main goal is to promote the development of our summer associates into forward-thinking, well-trained attorneys. Challenging assignments. Each year we ask our summer
associates to apply their skills to challenging assignments presented
by the firm's clients. As a summer associate, you will have the
opportunity to handle assignments from every lawyer in the firm, and
you can request assignments from specific practice areas that are of
particular interest to you. Throughout the program, you will be
evaluated and receive constructive feedback on your work. You
will also have the opportunity to observe trials, hearings, mediations,
arbitrations, depositions, real estate closings, and conferences with
clients and witnesses. Summer associates are also included in
practice area meetings and firm seminars on topics such as ethics and
discovery practice, providing insight into the practical side of being
an attorney. If you are interested in applying for the Summer Associate Program, please contact the following attorney:A. Johnston Cox |
