We are looking for candidates who demonstrate academic excellence as well as success in extracurricular activities in and out of school, such as moot court, law review, and other professional activities.
We desire students who have a strong work ethic and top communication skills. Most importantly, we are looking for students who possess a passion for litigation and show a willingness to client dedication.
What do we offer
The Butler Firm is an aggressive and expanding law firm providing a team-oriented environment. We offer early opportunities for young lawyers to develop their practice by providing them with real hands on experience.
The Butler Firm is committed to the success of our new attorneys and their early legal development. The morale of the attorneys and staff in the firm reflects this commitment..
The Summer Associate Program
Each year, we interview second-year students in search of potential new associates. The Summer Associate Program generally lasts from six to twelve weeks depending on the student’s schedule.
We attempt to provide our summer associates with a realistic vision of what the practice of law is like. Students are asked not only to conduct legal research and draft legal memoranda, but also to draft discovery documents, attend hearings, and meet with clients.
