Hiring Criteria6
All applicants have to fulfill certain conditions, which include being among, preferably, the top 25%
of their classes and having experiences in moot court, law review, and/or judicial clerkship.
Attorney Recruiting
The firm hires first-year associates from its summer associate program. Third-year law students who have
not undergone training in clerkship for the firm cannot apply for the position of first-year associate.
Summer Associate Program
Only second-year law students with excellent academic records are hired by the firm to participate
in its summer associate program. Its Washington, DC, office does not run a summer program. Its Birmingham office hires second-year law students as well as a few outstanding students who have
completed only their first year of law school.
