Why SummerClerk?

NEW BUSINESS DYNAMICS

1 The world is a different place than it was 20 years ago. It's a different place that was 10 years ago or even five years ago. There have been great technological changes as well as a fundamental shift in the way that business is done. The business of law firms has changed and this has impacted how law firms and law students connect for clerking opportunities.
 
In this age of being able to access information in a heartbeat on our cell phones and certainly on our laptops and desktops, this has made obsolete the old-fashioned approach of simply sending in a resume to a law firm and then the law firm making decisions based upon that resume as to whether or not in interview will be granted.

 

GETTING NOTICED

2It's not that the system doesn't work -- because it does -- the question is whether there is a better way to do this which helps both law students and law firms?

The answer is yes.

It is summerclerk.com. Summerclerk.com helps both the student and employer find the right match so that valuable time is not wasted in poor hiring decisions on the part of the firm and the student.

FOR STUDENTS

3Taking advantage of Summerclerk.com gives you the following edge on your competition:

  • Instead of presenting prospective law firms with a simple resume, you provide multiple sources of information for the law firm to make an interview decision.
  • You give the law firm a resume, video clips of you, access to written materials that you have created, links to social networking sites, and a personality profile.
  • Your time is valuable so there is no point in interviewing with a firm that is not truly interested in you.
  • Instead you spend your time on higher-quality interviews with firms that are seriously considering hiring you.
FOR EMPLOYERS

4By registering on Summerclerk.com, you receive the following resources and aids in finding the right law student for your firm or company:

  • You will have significantly more information on students than if you simply were looking at a resume and a GPA.
  • You get to see what the student looks like in one or more short video clips.
  • You will be able to review the personality profile which will give you some insight into how the student will fit in with your firm and with the type of law clerk you need.
