Locke Lord LLP follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.
The firm seeks applicants whose academic records in college and law school are outstanding. It also attaches considerable importance to fluency and command over the language, both oral and written, and prefers students who have demonstrated leadership qualities. Those candidates who are not on the firm's on-campus interview list are advised to apply via the firm's self-apply website, posting their resumes, transcripts along with other relevant details. Following an initial interview, whether on-campus or at the firm, the chosen candidates are called back to the firm's offices for a second round of interviews where he or she will meet with four or five attorneys for thirty minutes. The Hiring Committee and Legal Recruiting professionals make every effort to respond to each candidate as quickly as possible after their interviews. The firm reimburses or shares travel expenses with other firms, for students who are from out-of-town and have been called back for the second round of interviews. Reimbursement expenses include reasonable air or train fare, ground transportation, hotel accommodations and cost of meals. The firm does not reimburse candidates for initial interviews. Edwards Wildman is no longer accepting applications for our 2013 Summer Associate Program.
