Each year Milbank selects law students who will receive a salaried summer associate position and a $50,000 scholarship. ($15,000 to be distributed during the students’ third year of law school, and payment of the additional $35,000 contingent upon receipt and acceptance of a Milbank permanent offer, to be paid upon the students’ joining the Firm.)
Our summer program is extremely comprehensive and personal. Summer associates rotate through the Firm’s practice areas during a ten-week period. The program is managed by the Recruiting Committee, along with a team from each practice group to ensure that each summer associate receives a broad and challenging experience. Numerous seminars and social events round out the experience of the summer associates.
Factors considered in the selection of Milbank Diversity Scholars include academic achievement, demonstrated leadership ability, excellent writing and interpersonal skills and a sincere interest in our practice. Students who are members of groups traditionally underrepresented in large law firms are encouraged to apply. To be named a Milbank Diversity Scholar, candidates must be in good standing at an ABA accredited law school and have successfully completed their first year of a full-time JD program. Joint degree candidates must have successfully completed two years of a JD program.
Application
Interested candidates must submit an application form, essay, official law school transcript and resume to Allison Z. Levitt, Manager of Law School Recruiting, by September 15th.
