| Our Hiring Program is one of the most selective in the
country. Last year, for example, we received more than thirty-two applications
for every one spot available in our Summer Program, and earlier this year Vault.com once again rated
the firm as one of the most selective law firms in the United States. |

The vast majority of our associate hiring is done through our Summer
Program, though we do from time to time supplement that hiring with
offers to 3L's and Judicial Clerks who have not summered with us, and
with strategic Lateral Hiring. Most future summer associates first
meet us during On-Campus Interviews, and we make our offer decisions
following a comprehensive set of In-Office Interviews.
Those who receive and accept offers to join R&G are hired into
one of the lowest associate-to-partner ratios (2.2:1 in April)
of any
top
firm. We develop the remarkable talent that joins us each year by investing
heavily in training programs
that are nationally recognized for excellence. This
unusual
structure also means that new associates carry significant responsibility
and have exceptional long-term prospects for partnership, as well as
superb opportunities in business, government, and academia. |
