Is Mintz Levin hiring any additional first year associates for the 2011 fall class?
Please complete the web application and attach a resume, cover letter, and transcript. If you are interested in multiple offices, please submit only one web application and reference the offices to which you are applying in your cover letter.Due the success of the 2010 Summer Program, we do not have plans to add to the 2011 Fall Associate Class.
How long is the summer program and when does it begin?
Our summer program typically is ten weeks long. The program begins after Memorial Day and runs through the first week in August.
How does the assignment process work?
Before the summer program begins, we ask each summer associate to indicate the departments from which they would like to receive assignments and we distribute the work accordingly. Throughout the program, the summer associates are provided many opportunities to take on assignments from departments not on their initial lists and a broad array of pro bono assignments. We also strive to ensure students work with a variety of attorneys. We do not assign summer associate to specific departments.
How does the evaluation process work?
After an assignment is completed, the assigning attorney is solicited to complete an evaluation form. The evaluation forms are compiled for the mid-summer and final reviews. We also strongly encourage each attorney to provide feedback directly to the summer associate after the assignment has been completed.
What types of training sessions will I attend as a summer associate?
We have a writing program that runs throughout the summer. We also host a mock trial, a venture capital training session, programs on the business of a law firm and legal ethics, and business lunch etiquette training. In addition, the summer associates are invited to attend regularly scheduled associate training sessions throughout the summer.
After on-campus interviews, when should I expect to hear from the firm about additional interviews?
We try to contact all candidates within five to seven days of the on-campus interview to invite you for a call-back interview.
If I'm invited back for a call-back interview, what can I expect?
Each office has its own call-back interview procedures. In the Boston office, your schedule will consist of four 30-minute, one-on-one interviews with attorneys from a variety of practices areas. In the New York office, your schedule will consist of five 20- minute, one-on-one interviews. We work to tailor each interview schedule to match your interests and background.
How will the firm handle my interview travel expenses?
We pay for reasonable travel expenses for our out-of-town candidates who are invited for call-back interviews. Once the call-back is complete, please submit copies of all your receipts and the NALP Travel reimbursement form to:
