- Meaningful Work: From day one you will be involved in a variety of legal tasks that challenge you and help build your skills. We believe in giving our students real responsibility so you will not be confined to research memos. Instead you will contribute to work that has a tangible impact.
- Supportive Learning Environment: We foster a respectful professional atmosphere where questions are encouraged and learning is a priority. Our open-door policy is more than just words. Not only do we regularly bounce ideas and strategy off of each other but we also genuinely like each other too.

When we commit to a student we take that commitment seriously. Our goal is to provide our students with as much responsibility as they can comfortably handle under the right supervision.
