Recruitment of summer associates is supervised by the firm's Recruiting Committee but depends heavily upon the participation of all lawyers in the firm. In evaluating applicants, consideration is given to undergraduate and law school academic performance, extracurricular activities and leadership skills, as well as other experiences and accomplishments.

The firm’s Summer Program is designed to give summer associates a comprehensive view of the firm’s practice while giving the firm an opportunity to evaluate the skills of the summer associates. Summer Programs for first and second-year law students are offered in Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Columbia, Greenville and Myrtle Beach. Please refer to individual offices for further information.

Nelson Mullins is committed to a policy of equal employment opportunity.
