Each year Milbank selects law students who will receive a salaried summer associate position and a $50,000 scholarship. ($15,000 is distributed during each student’s third year of law school; payment of the additional $35,000 is contingent upon receipt and acceptance of a Milbank permanent offer, to be paid upon each student’s joining the Firm.)
The Milbank summer program is 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.

standing at an ABA accredited law school and have successfully completed their first year of a
full-time JD program.

Interested candidates must submit an application form, essay, official law school transcript and
