Litchford & Christopher’s summer program is designed to give summer associates a true taste of who we are, how we practice, and what being an attorney in our firm actually entails.  Our summer associates typically collaborate with each of our attorneys on at least one project.  Typical assignments include researching legal issues, preparing research memoranda, drafting discovery requests, and preparing pleadings and documents to be filed with various courts, including complaints and appellate briefs. Summer associates frequently attend client conferences, court hearings, trials, depositions, and mediations. 

 We carefully evaluate all our summer associates with an eye to hiring them full time upon their graduation. The firm’s hiring decisions are primarily predicated on the abilities and aptitude of our summer associates.  Every summer associate, who demonstrates a high level of intellectual ability and curiosity, energy and industry, thorough legal reasoning, excellence in writing, and dedication to our firm and our clients, receives an offer of full-time employment.

            Litchford & Christopher conducts interviews at select law school campuses, but welcomes resumes and applications from all qualified applicants.  Please contact our firm administrator, Marie Townsend, for further information.
