About the Gibbs Mura 2L Summer Program
Gibbs Mura seeks exceptional 2L law students to join us in Oakland, CA for a paid, 10-week summer program. During your time at the firm, you will join our litigation teams to work on class and mass action matters in areas that include consumer protection, digital privacy, products liability, personal injury, environmental litigation, and employment law in federal courts, state courts, and arbitration. Our prior summer associates have drafted portions of legal briefs, conducted in-depth research assignments, assisted attorneys in preparing for depositions, and participated in client intake work. We also seek to provide every summer associate with opportunities to observe court hearings, depositions, and arbitrations, as cases permit.
In addition to your casework, Gibbs Mura provides weekly trainings on substantive areas of the law, practical skills, and insights into building a career as a plaintiffs’ attorney. We want to provide our summer associates with a solid foundation to begin their careers as advocates for consumers and workers harmed by corporate misconduct.
Summer associates will be paid a first-year associate salary of $160,000, prorated for the weeks spent with the firm.
