Goodwin Procter LLP follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.

Hiring Criteria

Apart from general hiring criteria Goodwin prefers candidates with strong law school and undergraduate record and those with law review or journal experience. Interviews at Goodwin aren't just about grades and academics - recruiters want to see that candidates are driven, energetic, bright and focused. The firm conducts on-campus interviews at up to 30 schools - some in the top 25, plus a few others in its offices' geographies.

Pro bono

Pro bono work is one of the cornerstones of Goodwin Procter. The firm's attorneys, summer associates and paralegals last year dedicated over 45,700 hours to 492 pro bono matters. Goodwin Procter works on a range of challenging and topical issues including rights to education, death penalty challenges, immigration, microfinance, constitutional law, and civil rights matters. And the Pro Bono Initiative actively works with the members of the Committee for Racial and Ethnic Diversity and the Women's Initiative to provide programming and pro bono opportunities that are responsive to the individual interests of each group.

Goodwin Procter and its attorneys have been widely recognized by clients and legal services partners for their pro bono achievements. These achievements are symbolic of the firm's lawyers' generosity of spirit and a desire to help those in need.

No matter how big or small, how monumental the issues or how routine, every pro bono matter receives the same level of dedication, professionalism, and care. The firm greatly appreciates the energy, commitment, and creativity that all of the attorneys and other legal professionals involved bring to the firm's Pro Bono Initiative.

The firm sets a goal of 25 pro bono hours per associate, and credits up to 150 pro bono hours annually as billable hours.
