Summer Associates panel

Summer Associates

The summer program is our principal source of hiring entry-level attorneys and is designed with the summer associate’s professional development as its primary goal. Because more than three quarters of our summer associates return to the firm as full-time lawyers, we maintain high standards in the selection process. We recognize that the program should give each summer associate a realistic impression of what the people and practice of Riker Danzig are all about. Individual attention is a priority.

Campus Interview Calendar

We plan to visit the following schools this fall to meet with second year law students for potential summer positions. We encourage students to submit resumes for consideration during the fall recruiting season by following the procedures established by your law school career services office.
