We set a high standard for ourselves in professionalism and service to clients. We keep that high standard in mind when considering candidates for a summer associate position. Butler Snow looks for academic excellence and strength of mind, of course, but we also seek well-rounded individuals who are committed to the law but have interests beyond it.
Butler Snow seeks candidates with the ability, judgment, personality, energy, commitment and sense of humor to develop into wise counselors, effective advocates and valued colleagues.
The firm’s Recruiting Committee is charged with considering candidates for summer associate and full-time associate positions. In reviewing applications and interviewing candidates, Butler Snow:
Typically requires that applicants be in the top 10% of their class.
Prefers that applicants be members of a predominant law journal or Moot Court at their schools.
Seeks persons with demonstrated skills in judgment and reasoning, communication (writing and speaking), and personal relations. These skills may be reflected by a person's academic performance as well as involvement in extracurricular interests and activities.
