Description:

Munger, Tolles & Olson is looking to hire 3L students who are interested in joining our 2026 summer associate program in our Los Angeles office after graduation and before a clerkship.

A pre-clerkship summer associate could join the program for a minimum of 4 weeks, up to a maximum of 10 weeks. For those 3Ls who plan to take a bar exam next summer, the program is for those taking the California bar exam and we will ask those participants to complete the program at MTO two weeks ahead of the bar exam date, to give sufficient time for final studying. 3Ls taking the bar exam will have the option to rejoin the summer program immediately following the bar exam, for a minimum of three weeks. Alternatively, 3Ls who are taking the bar exam may elect to join our program immediately following the bar exam, for a minimum of 4 weeks. 3L summer associates will be paid $4327 per week.

We look for candidates who have demonstrated excellence and leadership in their prior pursuits and who bring intellectual curiosity to an already extremely talented group of lawyers. In order to apply, please submit your materials (cover letter, resume, law school transcript, contact information for two references, including a law professor) via our online application.
