What is the deadline for submitting my resume and cover letter?
All law students are encouraged to consult the career services department at their respective law schools to determine whether our firm interviews on campus or maintains a resume drop at that particular law school. If so, specific procedures and deadlines will generally apply for the submission of resumes through the on-campus process.
In the absence of specific procedures and guidelines or to submit a resume outside of the on-campus process, 2L's and 3L's should send their resumes by September 15 to ensure consideration. For 1L's, the NALP guidelines, which we follow, provide that 1L's cannot apply until AFTER December 1.

What does Husch Blackwell Sanders look for in a law student?
We are seeking law students who are dynamic, bright, mature, innovative, and willing to take on significant responsibilities. We are looking for participants, not employees.
While we care about law-related activities such as law review and moot court, we also review law students' past employment backgrounds. Many of our attorneys successfully pursued other careers before joining the legal profession.
Our Summer Associates come from many different backgrounds and schools and maintain a wide variety of outside interests.
