Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for high school students who are curious, driven, and ready to challenge the law and all of its rules. If you want to gain experience in a real office environment and want to see how law is practiced to protect workers, hold bad actors accountable, and make an impact—you just might be a great candidate for this highly selective and competitive internship program.
Ideal candidates are open-minded, eager to learn, and motivated to be part of a team. Whether your passion is for books or broadcast, research or communication, there’s truly a place for everyone here.
This program is designed for rising 11th and 12th graders and runs from July 6 through July 31, 2026 in Pasadena, CA. We know the summer can be busy with vacations, school responsibilities, and more, so we’ve made sure students will still have time to enjoy their summer break while exploring the professional world. It’s a short program with long-term impact, and we’re just as committed to helping students grow as they are to growing themselves. If you’re ready to build skills, build experience, and start truly building skills that last—you’ve come to the right place.
Your Career Starts Here
From day one, Summer Associates will be treated as valued team members and given meaningful assignments that support the firm’s real-world work. You’ll sharpen your skills, gain experience, and leave with a solid resume and high-impact career guidance along the way.
This program is tailored to students who want to hit the ground running. You’ll build a toolkit of skills, get real-life exposure to the legal profession, and gain confidence as a future professional. This program is designed to help you find your voice, unlock your potential, and build the future you envision for yourself.
More than just a summer job, this is a stepping stone. Our program is designed to help students explore different career options, build mentorship relationships, and feel empowered to pursue big dreams. Many of our students go on to intern here again in the future—and some even find themselves applying to full-time careers at D.Law later on.
