Law Student Opportunities
We look to add outstanding law students and lawyers to our firm. Our diverse client base and breadth of practice offer many opportunities for attorneys who embrace the Bodman commitment to the highest quality legal work and superior client service. We are proud of the work we do and we expect that attorneys who join us will share that same pride.
Many of our partners joined the firm as summer associates. Our summer associate program provides talented law students with exposure to Bodman’s varied practice through work on actual client matters that associates would otherwise handle.
We only invite summer associates who combine outstanding academic credentials, initiative and a commitment to teamwork to join the firm. We hire the best students from leading law schools nationwide and have had unparalleled success in the percentage of summer associates who receive and accept offers of full-time employment. Since 1997, we have extended offers of full-time employment upon graduation to 62 out of 65 (95%) of second year summer associates.
Bodman is committed to diversity in the workplace at all levels of the Firm, from staff positions through the partnership ranks. Our commitment to diversity means equal opportunity for all attorneys and staff members without regard to race, gender, color, national origin, religion, age, disability or sexual orientation, as well as fostering a collegial and respectful working environment in which each person is encouraged and assisted in reaching his or her fullest potential. This commitment to diversity guides Bodman’s efforts to recruit, retain and advance the best and brightest law school graduates, lateral partners and associates. A Diversity Committee, whose members include female attorneys and attorneys of color, advises the Firm’s Executive Committee on a broad range of diversity issues and is charged with developing diversity initiatives. At Bodman we believe that diversity promotes a richer environment that produces the progressive and creative thinking essential to providing the best legal services. Bodman is an Equal Opportunity Employer/Affirmative Action Employer.
