Mirick is proud of its highly effective summer associate program. Our goal is to provide summer associates with substantive work from each of our practice areas and with as many attorneys as possible. Typically, more than fifty percent of our attorneys work with summer associates on assignments and training, with the workflow overseen by a coordinating attorney. In most cases, you work directly with the assigning attorney and can expect timely and constructive feedback. The summer program also includes opportunities to observe in the courtroom, at the closing table, and at client meetings.
Social functions and regular lunches provide excellent opportunities for you to become better acquainted with our attorneys and with life at the firm.
Pro Bono
The firm supports our attorneys in fulfilling their professional and ethical responsibilities and assisting the communities we serve by providing pro bono legal services that align with the firm’s pro bono policy. All Mirick attorneys, regardless of level, are encouraged to devote a portion of their time and professional services to pro bono matters.

One of the most rewarding aspects of leading the summer associate program is the opportunity to reflect on my own experience as a summer associate in 2019. The mentorship, guidance, and support I received at Mirick played a pivotal role in launching my legal career. Today, I am proud to help provide that same experience by mentoring and supporting each new summer associate as they begin their own professional journey.

“Something that really stood out to me during my Summer with Mirick was everyone’s genuine praise of the people that they work with and the enthusiasm for the work they do. As a Summer Associate at Mirick, I especially appreciated everyone’s eagerness to expose me to their respective practice areas and provide me with substantive work. In doing so, I was able to implement skills I was learning in law school and observe the diverse day to day responsibilities of attorneys. Even more importantly, the program emphasized the importance of getting to know the attorneys and staff on both a professional and personal level. Everyone was so thoughtful in sharing their experiences and ensuring I had the tools necessary to succeed at Mirick.”
