The Firm Says
Summer law clerks at Wheeler Trigg perform substantive work under associate and partner supervision. Our summers are immersed in our collegial work environment, community-minded atmosphere, and high standards of excellence. WTO summer law clerks have the opportunity to work across any of our areas, and are encouraged to build their networks across the firm while exploring their interests. Our summers are heavily supported by WTO’s professional development manager, who coordinates trainings and workshops that cover topics including the deposition skills, oral advocacy, legal research and writing, and client interaction best practices. There are rich opportunities to get to know our attorneys in work and social environments, and summers are matched with both associate and partner mentors to help guide them through the summer experience and beyond.
