About the Role

Description

Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick (CCK) is a private, public-interest law firm with a strong commitment to serving disabled military veterans and their families, as well as a wide range of other individuals who have been denied life, health, and disability benefits.  We foster a collaborative, inclusive environment where employees are encouraged to grow professionally while making a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve. 


Our Summer Associates work within the Veterans Law practice assisting veterans and their families with their claims for VA disability benefits. The primary emphasis of the program is on appellate-level representation before the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

Each summer associate will work on a number of written projects, including an appellate brief.

Weekly salary is $1,400.
