Armstrong Teasdale's summer program allows bright, talented
law students to study the firm to witness the character
of our practice and people. It also permits us to see
these students in action - to assess intellect and character
through first-hand experience as colleagues. We treat
our summer associates as professionals.
The Summer Associate Program gives second-year students
a special opportunity to contribute to the firm's practice
and to become acquainted with the private practice
of law.
Organization
The Summer Associate Program lasts for a minimum of 10 weeks. Summer
associates are assigned to work with different groups
of partners and senior associates with diverse practices
and backgrounds. This process
gives the summer associates a broader experience and
allows them to work with a variety of attorneys. Summer
associates are also given the opportunity
to devote a significant amount of their time working
in their specific areas of interest.
Summer associates are also provided with a partner-mentor
and an associate-advisor who provide guidance and assistance
to them throughout the program. They receive frequent
and thorough feedback, at periodic reviews and on individual
assignments.
Summer Activities
Summer associates also enjoy a full slate of social activities
that allow them to get to know our attorneys in relaxed
settings.
Compensation
Summer associate's salaries are competitive with other
large area firms.
HiringProcess
The Kansas City office hiring decisions are made primarily
by a Hiring Committee. However, many partners and associates
assist in evaluating and helping candidates learn more
about the firm. The Armstrong Teasdale Hiring Committee
is chaired by Casey Housley.
