Overview
The firm requires that the first half of the summer (six to eight weeks) be spent in one of our offices, and the second half at a public interest organization approved by the firm and in the same city as the summer associate's clerkship. The firm will sponsor two second year laws students who are clerking at Vinson & Elkins for the Public Interest Split Summer Program. During the second half of the summer while the student works at the public interest organization, Vinson & Elkins will continue to pay the student the Vinson & Elkins weekly summer associate salary for a maximum of six weeks.
Vinson & Elkins is pleased to announce that Marie Lopez, The University of Texas '06, clerk in our Austin office, has been selected as one of the firm's first Public Interest Split Summer interns. Marie will work with the ARC of Texas (Association of Retarded Citizens).
