Your first step to a successful legal career.

Waller's 1L Summer Program provides rising 2L students with the opportunity to engage in live matters and assignments with attorneys across all practice areas of the firm.

Summer Associates will contribute to current client matters and have opportunities to attend depositions, trials, hearings, negotiations and client conferences. 1L Summer Associates will be housed in one practice group; however, our goal is to expose Summer Associates to all eight practice groups throughout their time with us.  Each summer associate will work closely with one or two mentors who will introduce their mentee to attorneys in all five offices, assist with project selection, and advise on practice group preferences.  Throughout the program, numerous social functions afford opportunities to get to know Waller partners, associates, and fellow Summer Associates on a personal level. 

Our 1L Summer Associates also have the opportunity to attend the 1L Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) Scholars Summit in May where they participate in mock interviews and attend seminars on networking, leadership, secrets to success and more.
