Summer Associate Program

The summer associate program at The Stolar Partnership LLP is a rewarding experience for participating law students. Our program is an introduction to the work and real-life experiences of attorneys in private practice. Students are assigned real legal projects and responsibilities in which they are able to apply their law school knowledge and education. The summer associate program is offered to law students following their 1st and 2nd years of law school.

Hiring Details

The Stolar Partnership LLP adheres to the National Association of Law Placement guidelines. Each fall, recruiting begins for 2nd year law students to fill a position for the upcoming summer months. Students may either submit their resume by mailing it to the Firm's Hiring Partner or if they are a student at St. Louis University, Washington University, Southern Illinois University or the University of Missouri-Columbia they may choose to submit their resume for on-campus interviews.

Beginning December 1 of each school year, 1st year law students may submit their resume by mailing it directly to the Firm's Hiring Partner.

Students will interview with, and be evaluated by, members of the hiring committee, which consists of both partners and associates. Decisions will be based on both educational and professional performance.

Program Details

The summer program at The Stolar Partnership LLP does not use a "rotation" process for assignments given to their students. Instead, all projects will go through the summer coordinator and the coordinator will distribute assignments to the summer associates. This process ensures the student will receive projects from all practice areas and will also give each student a broad exposure to the firm's culture.

In addition to each student being able to refine his or her research and writing skills, they will have many opportunities to attend and observe various depositions, trials, hearings, closings and client meetings.

General Employment

To insure the smooth and successful operation of a firm of 50 attorneys, The Stolar Partnership LLP employs a diverse staff of legal assistants, secretaries, information technology professionals, accounting and administration professionals.

From time to time, we do find ourselves in need of additional help. And, while it is our hope to promote from within the firm, we often seek outside sources to fill positions as well.
