What does Thompson Coburn look for in a candidate for the summer program?
A. What Thompson Coburn looks for in a summer associate candidate is simple – a future associate. We are looking for candidates who have the ability and motivation to be outstanding attorneys. Generally, that is reflected in strong academic performance and good interpersonal skills. In addition, we find that your activities outside of law school courses are a predictor of your future success and will balance your legal practice. There is a broad range of personalities and life experiences that can combine to make an excellent attorney, and Thompson Coburn is interested in recruiting people with diverse backgrounds and interests.
