Summer Program

Munsch Hardt offers a six week summer program for second year law students to develop skills and experience the types of legal activities that are typical of our first and second year associates. We customize each individual's program so that he or she may gain knowledge in the practices that they are most passionate about. Each summer associate is provided the chance to work on an array of different matters, including in and out-of-office assignments such as depositions, hearings, closings, client meetings and more. Our program reflects the entrepreneurial culture of the firm and provides summer associates the flexibility to choose to concentrate on a specific area of the law or gain a broader knowledge through exposure to a wide variety of matters. We provide this open sampling so that we can build well-rounded attorneys and develop meaningful practices.

During this program, all summer associates are assigned two mentors to help make a smooth transition into the firm. These mentors offer one-on-one coaching and share real life experiences. The firm also provides summer associates with a mid program review, which is an open platform where they may express interest in any other opportunities that they would like to explore. During the course of the program, summer associates are encouraged to participate in all of the training programs extended to our attorneys. Summer associates are also encouraged to attend section specific or business development meetings, Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars and technology training classes. These are just a few of the initiatives that the firm offers to enhance the summer associate’s experience.
