Summer Associate PrograM

The Meridian Law Summer Associate Program allows rising third-year law students the opportunity to work closely with experienced attorneys across various practice areas.

We recognize the importance of nurturing young talent and strive to create a summer experience that reflects an attorney’s first year of practice - which means learning through experience.

We believe in investing in the future of the legal profession and focus on providing hands-on opportunities for our Summer Associates to conduct research and draft accompanying memoranda, draft pleadings, discovery, attend hearings, depositions, mediations, trials, and other pre-trial and case-specific proceedings.

Preference is given to students in the top 25% of their class with Journal and/or mock trial and moot court experience.

What Previous Summer Associates Are Saying

Kealy Welage - 2024

The summer experience Meridian Law provides is one like no other: one full of hands-on opportunities, support, and learning. I was able to take on projects that I had not previously been exposed to, which provided me valuable learning experiences. The environment at Meridian fostered mentorship and continuous learning, making it an invaluable part of my professional growth and development.
Katelyn Barham, 2022

“My summer at Meridian allowed me to begin the transition from law student to lawyer. I worked on a wide range of substantive projects, which allowed me to take the knowledge and skills I gained in school and apply them to active cases. The attorneys at Meridian took an interest in my professional growth and prioritized projects that would put my skills to the test. After my summer at Meridian, I was more motivated than ever to finish school, pass the bar, and start practicing - as a Meridian Associate.
Dalton Darnell, 2023

“The Meridian Summer Associate Program is an excellent opportunity to get real hands-on experience in a variety of practice areas. From day one, I was teated like a member of the team and given the opportunity to assist with real client matters. Everyone was always happy to answer questions and made a real effort to let me attend anything they had going on. The program gave me an authentic look at what it is like to work in a firm environment. It is a great program, run by a great group of people and I would highly recommend it to any law student interested in litigation.”
Samantha McCaleb, 2023

“I really enjoyed my summer at Meridian. I got actual, hands-on litigation experience - which is hard to find as a Summer Associate - and the experience definitely set me up for success. Meridian is a great place to work to determine whether litigation is for you!”
Erik Halvorson, 2021

“The team at Meridian represents the very best of the legal profession. From top to bottom they approach their work with diligence, thoroughness, and a continual focus on the clients they are serving. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to work with and learn from this great team!”
