Law Clerk/Summer Associate program
 

 

McIntosh, Sawran, Peltz & Cartaya, P.A. employs law clerks not only during the academic year but also during the summer in a structured and formal Summer Associate Program. The firm strives to employ about seven law clerks in its three South Florida offices. Law clerks at the firm, both during the summer and the academic year, are exposed to all facets of the firm’s practice areas and are able to enrich their experience by attending hearings, depositions, site inspections, and portions of trials. Law clerks do not work for a particular attorney in the firm; rather, they can retrieve assignments from attorneys in any and all of our four offices and from our diverse practice areas.

Assignments cover all phases of the litigation process including but not limited to preparation of legal memoranda, dispositive motions, pleadings, deposition summaries, and responses to discovery; preparation of records on appeal and portions of appellate briefs; researching critical legal issues; and keyciting appellate briefs and legal memoranda.

The Law Clerk/Summer Associate Program is mentored and supervised by one of our more experienced attorneys from the firm’s appellate division. At any phase of the assignment process, law clerks may seek guidance or advice from their mentor, including having him or her review drafts of written work product before they are submitted to the assigning attorney.

McIntosh, Sawran, Peltz & Cartaya, P.A.’s Law Clerk/Summer Associate Program provides an education far beyond any law school classroom. Those fortunate to be hired into the Program have enjoyed an accelerated learning curve that has assisted with their employability after graduation from law school.
