Summer Clerkship

Profile

Hornthal, Riley, Ellis and Maland is proud to offer a summer law clerk program. The summer program is a cornerstone of the Firm’s associate recruiting efforts. Traditionally, we have hired one or more law clerks each summer, to assist our lawyers with legal research, writing, case management, document review and preparation, and litigation. We value our relationship with law schools, and believe that this program is a win/win: preparing new lawyers for their careers, assisting our clients and allowing us to hire the best and brightest new attorneys. In addition, we have also made significant hires of laterals, relying on our statewide and national contacts within the legal community.
We seek highly motivated individuals with maturity, excellent legal skills and diverse backgrounds. We set the highest standards for our legal work and for the attorneys who work with the Firm.
Most of the summer law clerks that the Firm has hired in the past have worked primarily in the Elizabeth City office of the Firm. All laws clerks are provided the opportunity to work in both of our offices during the summer. Much of the work performed by summer law clerks involve litigation matters. The Firm’s attorneys handle litigation matters all over Northeastern North Carolina and many clerks in the past have been able to travel around the First Judicial District when needed. A summer law clerk with the Firm will find herself or himself working on a wide range of legal topics and areas of law.
Overall, the Firm offers a summer clerkship that is challenging, rewarding, and experience-building.
We are strongly committed to equal employment opportunities for all applicants. Therefore, we encourage and invite all law students who believe they have the attributes we seek and who feel they would be challenged by our type of practice to interview with us.
