The Stevens & Lee Summer Associate Program provides a challenging and realistic professional experience designed to acclimate students to the discipline and rigors of a sophisticated private practice and Stevens & Lee’s unique firm culture. Our goal is to link your formal law school education with the necessary training, mentoring and client service experience you will need to launch a dynamic, fulfilling career in the law. We provide our Summer Associates with meaningful educational opportunities and real-world work assignments, along with individualized attention and training in a collaborative environment. Our ultimate goal is providing those 2L students who excel in our program an offer of employment.
A Summer Associate at Stevens & Lee receives challenging, multi-dimensional assignments which, accompanied by targeted professional development training activities, foster an understanding of law practice from the perspectives of both lawyers and clients alike. At Stevens & Lee, we want our Summer Associates to return to the firm as professionals ready to develop long-lasting relationships with us and our clients.
Law students who are sharp, hard-working and eager to learn may apply to our Summer Associate Program by participating in their law school career office’s summer recruiting programs or by submitting materials directly to Stevens & Lee.
