Deadline: January 15, 2024
Eligibility

As part of our 1L Coleman Fellowship program, fellows will receive a one-time US$5,000 award paid at the beginning of the summer program to help pay for tuition and law school expenses. Once they join, they will be paid as summer associates (currently US$3,900 per week) and receive the networking and developmental opportunities afforded to our community of Coleman Fellows.

Following completion of a successful 1L summer, meaning that the Fellow is in good standing with satisfactory work performance following the conclusion of the Summer Program, Fellows will be eligible for an automatic callback interview at any O’Melveny US office for a 2L summer associate position.

O’Melveny is recruiting 1L Fellows to join one of our US offices in the summer of 2024. 1L students in good standing may apply between December 1, 2023 and January 15, 2024. Visit O’Melveny’s career portal here.

Law students who are immediate family members of O’Melveny attorneys or business professionals are ineligible for the Coleman Fellowship.

Candidates must submit: (1) a cover letter; (2) a resume; (3) undergraduate and law school transcripts (or the date they expect to receive their law school transcripts if not yet available); and (4) a statement of 300 words or fewer that reflects on how your experiences will help you RISE* to the challenge of promoting social justice and DE&I at O’Melveny. As part of O’Melveny’s recruiting process, candidates will also be required to play Pymetrics. Please only apply to your top two (2) office locations.

The materials submitted should demonstrate: 

  • Strong academic performance, including special achievements and honors
  • Examples of experiences supporting social justice or diversity, equity, and inclusion

Finalists will be invited to interview with the firm as part of the fellowship selection process. Finalists and Fellows will be notified on a rolling basis.
