Please be advised that we are no longer accepting applications for our 2010 summer associate program. 

Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP’s summer associate program is our primary vehicle for hiring first-year associates. Our summer classes are small and select. Our class size allows us to get to know our summer associates as individuals and to give them a personalized, exciting and rewarding professional experience.

We believe that the best way for summer associates to learn about Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge is through the work we do and we take pride in giving our summer associates a wide variety of challenging and interesting assignments that reflect the real work of the firm. Summer associates are not assigned to a particular department. Instead, they are encouraged to sample from various aspects of our practice. Summer associates work as members of teams handling intricate business deals and hotly contested cases, attending client meetings, drafting transactional documents, facilitating closings, assisting at depositions and trials, and helping prepare motions and briefs. A key objective of the program is to give each summer associate the right experience to enable them, by the end of the program, to gain a realistic sense of what their work life would be as a junior associate and to identify a principal area of interest.

Another integral part of the summer program is getting to know, on a personal level, the people who compose Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge (and they you). Thus, the summer also has its numerous and varied social rewards, ranging from informal group get-togethers with classmates and junior lawyers, after-hours musical entertainment, golf outings and boat trips, sporting events, and casual dinners in the homes of our partners. We view the summer program as your chance to see what it would be like to work at Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge and to learn for yourself why EAPD is a superb place to practice law and establish rewarding personal and professional relationships.
