Alston & Bird LLP follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.
The firm gives priority to students who have outstanding academic credentials in undergraduate and law school, if they have experience on law review or in moot court, all the more better. The firm says it looks for students with maturity, self-confidence, leadership ability and a serious commitment to the practice of law. Resume should be simple, well-written and should contain requisite information. The firm says that they do not attach much importance to gimmicky presentation. To them substance not presentation matters. Alston & Bird follows guidelines set forth by NALP on the timing of offers and decisions. Under those guidelines first-year law students may apply with the firm beginning on December 1st of each year. Second-year law students should submit their cover letter, resume and transcript to the office where you desire to be hired, to schedule an interview. The firm welcomes third-year law students and judicial clerks and asks them to submit a cover letter indicating their practice areas, preferred office location, resume and transcript to the Attorney Hiring contact in the office for which they have an interest. The firm hires only that number of summer associates to whom they will be able to offer open positions. The hiring committee makes every effort to respond to candidates within two weeks of their interview
The firm is passionate about its commitment to the communities in which it lives and works. Serving those in need occupies a central position in its culture, its business plan and in its heart. Each week the firm's attorney spend considerable time defending civil rights in noteworthy cases, such as advocating for voiceless children, supporting asylum seekers, representing victims of domestic violence, and generally giving access to justice to those who would otherwise not receive it. Throughout the year, the firm offers a variety of opportunities for its employees to positively influence their communities. From knitting blankets for homeless children and building Habitat for Humanity houses to driving cancer patients to treatment and sending care packages to troops overseas, Alston & Bird employees find tangible support from the firm for whatever causes move them to action. The main objective of their projects is to have immediate and long-term impact on organizations and individuals in the most need. The firm's efforts have brought systematic changes in the legal system as well meaningful change in the lives of individuals. The firm's attorneys and staff serve on the boards of more than 400 nonprofit organizations in the communities where they do business and 37 nonprofit organizations gained new leadership in the past year. At Alston & Bird states that they don't engage in pro bono work for the recognition, but that they are proud when their work is recognized, as it is their work that makes a difference to the community and in the lives of those in need.
Thank you.
