Description:
About the Summer Associate ProgramMintz is currently accepting applications for our 2028 2L Summer Associate program and 2L Diversity Scholarship in our Boston, New York, and Los Angeles offices. Our Summer Associates select a practice area of interest (Corporate, Litigation, or Intellectual Property Litigation) and are immersed in that practice area for the duration of the program. Summer Associates work on an array of matters, often staffed on cases or deal teams, where they can gain real, hands-on experience working side-by-side with our lawyers. Our small class size, coupled with our Member and Associate mentorship program, allows students a broad range of opportunities and experience, customized to their individual goals and interests.
After spending ten weeks at the firm, our Summer Associates know our lawyers, understand what we do, and are ready to hit the ground running after law school.
