What are the responsibilities and job description for the 2026 Summer Law Clerk Program (First Year Law Students) position at Opportunities?
Every summer, Burr & Forman hires law students at the end of their first year of law school to clerk in our offices across the Southeast. Our summer law clerk program is an excellent opportunity for law students to experience Burr & Forman's culture. Each summer law clerk is assigned a partner and associate mentor for the summer program. These mentors offer instruction and feedback on assignments as well as encourage each summer law clerk to be successful and productive. A wide-range of assignments provide exposure to different practice areas; clerks may be invited to interact with clients or attend a trial, a closing, or a deposition. Our goal is to further each summer law clerk's legal career by delivering a valuable learning experience to supplement their law school studies.
