1L SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES

Our firm is proud to offer 1L Summer Clerkship positions through a variety of programs, as well as at select offices when positions are available. These clerkships provide first-year law students from ABA-accredited law schools with the opportunity to gain valuable, hands-on experience by working closely with our attorneys across multiple practice areas. We encourage applications from students who are eager to develop their legal skills and engage in meaningful work in a dynamic law firm environment.

2L/3L SUMMER CLERK PROGRAM

Our summer program is designed to give law students a realistic view of what it is like to practice as a first-year attorney at our firm. We challenge you with meaningful work assignments that reflect the breadth and the depth of labor and employment law. We do not use a formal rotation program.  Instead, we encourage you to explore what interests you by choosing your own work assignments from a database of available projects.

We also recognize that training is essential to your success as a summer clerk. In addition to the one-on-one training you receive, while working alongside our attorneys, we offer formal training programs that will help you learn the skills you need to succeed at Fisher Phillips.  Our summer clerks also have many opportunities to observe court appearances, depositions, client meetings and mediations. Each summer clerk is assigned an associate mentor who serves as a resource throughout the summer program. 

Our summer program is not all about work.  We also host a variety of social events to give you the opportunity to meet us outside of the office. 

Fisher Phillips interviews second and third-year law students on campus at select schools and job fairs each year. Please see below for the list of schools we will plan to attend this year. If we do not participate in OCI at your school, we encourage you to apply to a posted summer opportunity on our Careers page.
