Join Us for the Summer
As the primary avenue for the firm’s entry-level attorney recruiting, our Summer Associate Program gives law students a firsthand look at life in legal practice. By involving summer associates in the day-to-day work of our attorneys and welcoming them as integral members of the team, the program provides a realistic, rewarding experience designed to ease the transition from law school to law firm life.
Summer Associates gain experience across a range of practice areas and participate in professional development programs throughout the summer. They are also paired with mentors and invited to connect with colleagues at firmwide social activities, including our Summer Family Outing, department events, young professional networking events, and more.
Thank you for your interest in our Summer Program. Applications for our 2028 Summer Program will open after January 1, 2027. To receive updates, please join our mailing list here.
“My summer at Shulman Rogers was an incredible opportunity to sharpen my legal research and drafting skills while diving into meaningful, hands-on work across a wide range of practice areas. I was able to sit in on fascinating projects that gave me real insight into the kind of law I want to practice. Beyond the work itself, the firm's welcoming culture, and the genuine connections I built with attorneys at every level made the experience truly exceptional. I am so grateful I got to have this opportunity and feel well-prepared to return to the firm as an associate.”
"As a summer associate at Shulman Rogers, I worked across practice areas, helping me identify what type of law I am interested in and enabling me to learn from so many knowledgeable attorneys. With the entire team invested in my success and growth, my advocacy and research skills improved, better preparing me to practice law."
"My summer at Shulman Rogers was an integral part of my law school experience. As a summer associate, I was immersed into real world, substantive assignments for clients and received valuable guidance and feedback from experienced attorneys. I also got a feel for the unique, community-oriented culture of Shulman Rogers through lunches, networking events and off-campus social activities. I am looking forward to returning as an associate after graduation!"
"I am so grateful for my experience as a Summer Associate at Shulman Rogers. It gave me the opportunity to learn from and interact with every Department at the Firm. I was also able to form connections with future coworkers and mentors. Because of my experience from the summer, I feel (more) prepared and look forward to transitioning to a permanent role with the Firm."
"I am grateful that I spent my 2L summer at Shulman Rogers because it was an invaluable experience and changed the trajectory of my legal career. Shulman Rogers’ summer experience is unique because summer associates have the opportunity to work with different practice areas instead of being assigned to one department. This allowed me to explore several areas of the law that I was interested in, helped me determine what area of the law I wanted to practice, and provided me with the opportunity to get to know partners, associates, and staff throughout the firm."
