OUR SUMMER CLERK PROGRAM is the firm's principal source for hiring new associates. During the summer program, our primary goal is to provide our summer clerks with a realistic sense of life as an associate at BoyarMiller. Summer clerks receive the same type of work asignments as our junior associates, on actual client matters, and work with as many lawyers as possible over the course of the program, which runs during the first half of the summer.
We try to provide our summer clerks with some fun outside of the office as well. Astros games, golf, dinners and happy hours are part of the summer agenda. For more information on the program, check out the Summer Clerk Program FAQs or please call Chris Hanslik at 832-615-4212.
Sara Waller — Accepted Associate Position in Litigation Group Summer Clerk 2009
"During the summer associate program at BoyarMiller I was able to work with partners and associates on a variety of cases. From day one I researched and drafted documents that were filed with courts and sent to opposing counsel. I felt like a contributing part of the team, not a law student. In just six weeks I observed a trial, a mediation, a hearing and several depositions. There were plenty of opportunities to get to know the lawyers and staff outside of the office. Between baseball games, bowling and a day at the spa, I had a blast. BoyarMiller was an easy choice to make."
Gavin Parker — Accepted Associate Position in Business Group Summer Clerk 2009
"My clerking experience with BoyarMiller was very rewarding. The firm gave me a firsthand look at their practice by assigning me a variety of intriguing projects. I was impressed by the skill of the attorneys and the dedication of the firm to its clients and employees. Also, the firm provided me the opportunity to assess whether the firm cutlure was a fit for me. I worked with a number of attorneys at the office and interacted socially — on a more personal level — at hosted events like golf, an Astros game and dinner. By the end of the clerk program, I knew that BoyarMiller was the optimal place to begin my career. "
Ryan Bardo — Associate, Litigation Group Summer Clerk 2008
"During my summer clerkship with BoyarMiller, I experienced a small-firm environment where each person in the office is an integral and valued member of the team. I had the opportunity to interact with everyone in the firm and work on both litigation and transactional matters. Most importantly, though, I learned that BoyarMiller is committed to living its mission and values and to developing young lawyers that do the same. My clerkship convinced me that BoyarMiller was where I wanted to be and mirrored my experience as an associate with the firm today."
Blake Royal — Associate, Business Group Summer Clerk 2006
"My clerkship with BoyarMiller was invaluable. Not only was I given meaningful responsibilities, but I was also included in all facets of the daily workings of the firm, allowing me to genuinely experience what it means to be a part of the legal profession. After six weeks, I was certain that BoyarMiller was the ideal firm in which to establish my legal career."
Andrew Pearce — Associate, Litigation Group Summer Clerk 2006
"BoyarMiller's Summer Clerk Program provided me the opportunity to accurately experience the working environment of a law firm and, more importantly, experience the core values and culture of BoyarMiller. I was able to interact with each attorney at the firm and work on substantive assignments for the firm's clients. In addition, my family and I were able to get to know everyone at BoyarMiller, and vice versa, through various social functions. The program enabled me to decide, with confidence, that BoyarMiller was the right place for me."
