2L Summer Program

Get an early start

Campisi LLP is a different kind of personal injury law firm. We dispel the “ambulance chasing” stereotype, by representing individuals with catastrophic injuries, and those with permanent and serious impairments. Our lawyers are exceptionally talented in their advocacy and in advancing the rights of disabled individuals as demonstrated by our numerous published decisions.

Who We Want

We are looking for 2-3 bright, ambitious, and hardworking 2L students to join our team. We seek individuals who are dedicated towards advancing the rights of regular individuals and not billion-dollar corporations. A demonstrated interest in personal injury law, and/or litigation is preferred.

What We Offer

Our second-year summer program allows students to get hands on experience with most aspects of file handling and management by directly assisting our lawyers. At the same time, students will experience our firm culture and environment prior to the start of their articling year. You will experience challenging, hands-on, and meaningful work that will serve as a foundation for your legal career.
