Lavelle Law, Ltd. provides law students with the opportunity to experience the practice of law at our firm through our law clerk program. Our firm actively participates in on-campus interviews and “meet and greet” functions at area law schools. In selecting candidates for the program, we consider a balance of academic success, strong interpersonal skills, and our firm’s present hiring needs. The Lavelle Law, Ltd. law clerk program reflects the firm’s commitment to legal education and professional development. The program provides participants with the opportunity to experience the varied and dynamic practice of law and continued legal training, while experiencing the highest standards of quality in the practice of law at Lavelle Law, Ltd.

Our success is a reflection of Lavelle Law, Ltd.’s commitment of senior leadership to continue the pipeline of exceptional talent, the dedication of our recruiting committees and the commitment of all of our attorneys who provide law clerks with meaningful work opportunities, along with significant professional and social interaction. Our mentoring program provides a rewarding and realistic introduction into the practice of law at Lavelle Law, Ltd. and our culture of learning.

Our law clerk program is an invaluable window into our practice and firm culture. We provide our law clerks with something priceless: hands-on experience. As a law clerk, you will be assigned to select projects under the close supervision of our experienced attorneys. Your assigned projects will consist of substantive legal work, and may include: drafting briefs, memoranda and contracts, and may even include participating in client consultations and meetings, or accompanying a litigation attorney to court for hearings and trials. Such direct participation enables you to observe the way Lavelle Law Ltd.’s attorneys advocate on behalf of our clients in an effort to solve problems and create opportunities for our clients. In furtherance of our “open-door policy,” we encourage all our attorneys to give law clerks as much training and constructive feedback as possible. As a result, we are provided the opportunity to measure how likely a law clerk is to succeed in our firm’s environment.

“Lavelle Law’s Summer Associate Program provided me with the perfect opportunity to further develop the legal skills required to become a successful practitioner. The firm works hard at assigning you to the type of work you’re interested in while also challenging you to explore unfamiliar areas of the law.

I received mentorship and feedback from staff, attorneys, and shareholders. Everyone has an open door policy, which helps Summer Associates calm down and focus on producing the best product possible for clients. You are immediately put in a position to do the expected work of a first-year attorney. That type of responsibility helps build confidence that you can succeed as an attorney.”
