Description:

Kelley Drye & Warren's New Jersey office is looking for a second year law student to join our 2025 Summer Program. Kelley Drye's summer program is hands-on, fast-paced and designed to help you gain valuable legal experience. Summer associates are staffed on individual matters through our NJ Office Administrator, which allows you to take on assignments in both the Litigation and Real Estate departments in New Jersey. Each assignment provides you the opportunity to challenge yourself, gain first-hand experience in different specialties of the law, and to tangibly contribute to real client matters.

Training and development is an integral component of Kelley Drye's summer program. Many training programs are designed specifically for our summer associates, providing tools to be successful over the summer and beyond. You will also have the chance to join our attorneys in formal training programs presented by both Kelley Drye lawyers and industry experts. We recognize that the best training comes from working directly with more seasoned practitioners, though. We keep our summer associate class sizes intentionally small, affording you a great deal of access to Kelley Drye attorneys, often working closely with senior associates and partners on their matters. Shadow training opportunities are encouraged as well, providing our summer associates the chance to observe Kelley Drye attorneys in hearings, taking depositions, or in client meetings.

What truly sets Kelley Drye apart however, are the people who work here. We strive to ensure our summer associates are able to make lasting connections over the course of the summer program. We have a formal mentor program, and plan fun and unique social events to give our summer associates ample opportunity to get to know the people who make Kelley Drye such a distinctive place to practice law.

We ask interested applicants to submit a cover letter, resume, transcripts (undergraduate, law and graduate, if applicable) and a diversity statement, and to specify the office they are applying for in their cover letter. Candidates should have an interest in working in New Jersey after graduation; strong preference for candidates with New Jersey ties.
