While the vast majority of our entry-level associates join the firm out of the Summer Program, we supplement our entry-level hiring with selective offers to 3Ls and judicial clerks who did not summer with us. We apply our summer hiring standards in evaluating these candidates, and those who join us have equal success in practice. Our need to look to these sources varies by year, however, so law students interested in starting their careers at Ropes & Gray are well advised to apply for a position in our summer program. |

| Entry-level lawyers who do federal appellate, district court or state supreme court clerkships immediately following law school and who then join Ropes & Gray are treated as members of their law school class for purposes of seniority and compensation, and they may be eligible for a clerkship bonus when they join the firm. Approximately 13% of the entry-level associates who joined the firm in the last three years did so after having clerked for one or two years. |
