Firms with Split Summer Programs

The following firms allow students to split the summer between the firm and a public interest organization, usually in the same city, while the firm pays the student's salary throughout the entire summer. Note that for some of these firms, the split summer program is location specific and you will need to make sure that the program exists in the location you are applying for. Be sure to investigate the specific program at each firm you are interested in: some firms have a list of specific public interest organizations you will have to choose from, some firms require you to develop your own public interest project, most of them significantly limit the number of summer associates that can participate, and some have other limiting rules. Also keep in mind that different online sources list different firms offering split summer programs, so it may be worth your while to do your own online search for additional split summer firms. While this list combines several sources, it is probably not comprehensive.
