Wise Carter Child & Caraway is committed to excellence. We actively recruit second year law students with outstanding academic credentials, strong interpersonal skills, and demonstrated leadership abilities for our summer associate program. Extracurricular activities such as Law Review, Law Journal or Moot Court are recognized and included as factors in the selection process. In order to maintain its high standard of legal services, the firm hires only those associates that it believes are capable of becoming members. Wise Carter traditionally has promoted individuals to membership primarily from within and after substantial association with the firm. Although most new associates hired each year are recruited from instate schools and have worked at the firm as summer associates, the firm welcomes inquiries from out-of-state students, as well as lateral applicants.

The firm hires only associate candidates with top qualifications. The firm's 54 attorneys are graduates of seventeen different law schools, including Harvard, Columbia, Virginia, Vanderbilt, George Washington, Washington and Lee, Emory, Southern Methodist, Loyola (Chicago), Loyola (New Orleans), Cumberland, Mississippi College, and the Universities of Mississippi, Virginia, Florida, Denver and Houston. In addition, Wise Carter maintains a staff of professional legal assistants to support the firm's attorneys in their practices.

Our summer associate program is a central part of the firm's hiring process. This program provides second year, and some first year, law students an inside view of the firm, as well as the opportunity to gain practical knowledge and experience in all facets of the law. Each summer associate will have a Wise Carter mentor available for consultation as needed. Social activities are planned throughout the summer. These activities are not only fun and entertaining, but they enable the summer associates to get to know the people that make up the firm.
