What is a summer associate?

A summer associate job is an intern opportunity in which you can gain practical experience and learn the skills of your trade. Industries from construction to entertainment offer summer associate jobs, but the legal industry is the most common for summer associate jobs. As a law student, you can find summer associate jobs after your first and second years of law school. Your job duties as a legal summer associate include drafting motions and other legal documents, practicing in mock trials, observing or performing litigation alongside an experienced lawyer in court, and conducting legal research.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a summer associate?

To thrive as a Summer Associate, you generally need strong academic credentials, analytical skills, and the ability to conduct thorough research, often supported by progress toward a relevant degree (such as law, business, or finance). Familiarity with industry-specific tools—like legal research databases, financial modeling software, or project management platforms—is typically expected. Exceptional communication, teamwork, and time management skills help candidates stand out in this role. These competencies are essential for delivering high-quality work, adapting quickly to new challenges, and contributing effectively during a short-term, intensive program.

What can I expect in terms of mentorship and feedback as a summer associate?

As a Summer Associate, you will typically be paired with a mentor or supervisor who will guide you through projects and help you acclimate to the firm's culture. Regular feedback sessions are common, both informally during daily work and formally through mid-summer and end-of-program reviews. You'll have opportunities to collaborate with various team members, attend training sessions, and participate in networking events designed specifically for associates. This supportive environment is intended to help you develop professional skills and gain insight into potential career paths within the organization.

Job description

Job Summary:

The Legal Recruiter role combines hands-on recruiting for Family Law Attorney positions with program management responsibilities coordinating Cordell & Cordell's Summer Associate/Clerkship program, and sourcing for corporate and other hard-to-fill positions. The ideal professional is an ambitious, relationship-driven recruiter who thrives in juggling multiple priorities and is equally comfortable running attorney searches, managing internal programs, and sourcing talent pipelines.

Responsibilities:
  • Family Law Attorney Recruiting (50%)
    • Own full-cycle recruiting for Family Law Attorney positions, from intake through offer and close, across all levels of experience.
    • Partner with hiring managers to understand hiring needs, define role requirements, and develop targeted search strategies.
    • Screen, interview, and assess candidates for legal expertise, cultural fit, and career trajectory, presenting qualified candidates in a timely manner.
    • Manage the candidate experience end to end, including scheduling, communication, offer negotiation, and closing.
    • Track and report on key recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline health, source effectiveness).
  • Summer Associate/Clerkship Program Coordination (25%)
    • Serve as the primary point of contact for the Summer Associate/Clerkship program, coordinating timelines, logistics, and communications from recruitment through offer.
    • Partner with internal stakeholders (attorneys, Partners, HR, and other leadership) to define program goals, staffing needs, and evaluation criteria.
    • Build and manage external relationships with law schools, career services offices, student organizations, and diversity pipeline partners.
    • Plan and execute recruiting events such as on-campus interviews, callback interviews, receptions, and orientation for incoming summer associates/clerks.
    • Manage the offer process, including offer approvals, extension, and conversion tracking for summer associates and clerks.
  • Corporate Recruiting, Sourcing & Difficult-to-Fill Role Support (25%)
    • Source and engage candidates for corporate positions using job boards, professional networks, referrals, and direct outreach.
    • Manage corporate candidate experience end to end, including scheduling, communication, offer negotiation, and closing.
    • Build talent pipelines for corporate roles in advance of anticipated hiring needs.
    • Support the broader recruiting team on other difficult-to-fill or niche practice area searches by conducting research, market mapping, and passive candidate outreach.
    • Assist with search strategy for hard-to-source roles, including identifying non-traditional talent pools and competitive intelligence on comparable searches.
    • Coordinate with internal recruitment team to prioritize sourcing efforts across open roles based on urgency and business impact.
Minimum Requirements:
  • Required Education:
    • Some education in Human Resources, Business Administration, or commensurate experience.
  • Minimum Years of Experience:
    • 3+ years of legal recruiting experience, including direct experience recruiting attorneys (Family Law experience strongly preferred).
    • Prior experience supporting or managing a Summer Associate, clerkship, or similar early-career legal talent program, along with sourcing for corporate or other hard-to-fill legal roles.
  • Other Requirements (Knowledge, Skill, Ability, and Licensure(s)):
    • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
    • Excellent organization skills.
    • Ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously.
    • Intermediate skills in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Word).
    • Proficiency with an applicant tracking system (ATS) and sourcing tools (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter, legal-specific job boards).
