Colorado Option for 1L Clerks!
Woods & Aitken is a national leader in the practice of construction, telecommunications, and banking and finance law with offices in Lincoln, Omaha, Denver and Washington D.C. Additionally, the firm practices in many other areas of law including labor & employment, real estate, estate planning, and personal injury. Woods & Aitken will be on campus to interview 1L Nebraska Law students for summer clerkships on the first day of OCI, February 2, 2016.
As in past years, interested candidates will have the opportunity to work in the firm’s Omaha or Lincoln offices throughout the summer (the firm typically works with its clerks to determine which of those offices will be a clerk’s primary base). However, this summer, Woods & Aitken is offering a unique opportunity to those students interested in working in Colorado. W&A is offering an optional split-summer between its Nebraska and Denver offices. The clerk would be primarily located in the Lincoln and/or Omaha offices during the first part of the summer, but during the second part of the summer, the clerk would be primarily located in W&A’s Denver office if the clerk chooses that option. (Please note that all travel costs, housing arrangements, etc. that are associated with a split summer would be the responsibility of the law clerk.)
