Getting Hired Here
- “Top 50 law school; clerkship experience.”
- “My firm values clerkship experience and experience from another firm. Rarely does my firm hire recent law school graduates unless they have completed a federal clerkship.”
- “Firm is picky with candidates but for good reasons. The work is complex and requires well-rounded attorneys with strong skill sets. Firm seems to hire mostly from Michigan schools. Many partners graduated from the University of Michigan or other top schools.”
- “Highly competent with a strong work ethic; a go-getter who is able to work for themselves. Clerkships are a huge plus. Less competent individuals will be shown out the door pretty quickly.
