The firm’s recruitment goal is simple – to hire and retain lawyers who have demonstrated the potential for excellence. The firm regularly recruits top graduates from leading law schools in Louisiana, Texas and across the country, focusing on students who rank in the top percentile of their law school class. Liskow seeks to hire associates primarily from those who have participated in the firm’s Summer Associate Program. The program is designed to allow second-year law students the opportunity to learn first-hand about the practice of law and, more importantly, about the firm’s unique culture and dynamic law practice.
Overview
Summer associates are not typically assigned to a specific section of the firm and are encouraged to work with all practice groups throughout a five or six week clerkship. This flexibility not only promotes a better understanding of the firm and the firm’s lawyers; it also provides an opportunity for a summer associate to develop or hone a particular interest or work preference during their clerkship.
Although legal research and writing are the primary work activities of a summer associate, Liskow also encourages clerks to attend out-of-office activities, such as depositions, trials, hearings, inspections, and closings. In addition to day-to-day work projects, the firm hosts a variety of fun social functions to allow law students and lawyers to get to know each other in a less formal setting.
