Davis Polk lawyers are encouraged to devote firm time and resources to pro bono matters in which they are interested. Our full-time Pro Bono Coordinator assists lawyers in selecting projects from a wide variety of sources. The summer program at Davis Polk is designed to provide each summer associate with a variety of work in her or his areas of interest. Summer associates participate in the normal work of the firm, including conferences, negotiations, document drafting, depositions, court attendance and travel. The summer program is for students who have completed at least two years of law school, are interested in full-time employment at Davis Polk, and wish to learn about the firm and its practice before graduation, clerkships or fellowships.
