The firm looks for students whose personal qualities, academic records and other achievements demonstrate exceptional ability, motivation, legal skills and potential for growth. The firm prefers students who show superior academic standing in college and law school. Participation in extracurricular activities is an added advantage. Students who demonstrate experiences that evidence initiative and responsibility are most likely to be accepted. Ties to Orange County help. Sheppard Mullin attorneys interview at approximately 20 national and regional law schools each fall, and the firm also participates in a variety of job fairs throughout the country. Its on-campus visits occur between mid-August and early September, with callbacks extended soon after each visit. The firm's interviews are with second-year (or third-year evening) students only. Those students whose law schools are not on the firm's campus interview list are welcome to send the resume and transcript to their office of interest. Those students who are called back, usually interview with 4-5 attorneys in our office and have lunch or dinner with 2 additional attorneys. Each office's Recruiting Committee meets periodically to review evaluations of students that have visited their office. The firm strives to notify students of the results of their callback as soon as possible. Students receiving offers will have 28 days to accept or refuse it.
