LAW STUDENTS
Summer Associate Program
Each year for the past 31 years, The Law Offices of Frederick K. Brewington has hired law students as part of its Summer Associate Program. This program was instituted by Attorney Frederick Brewington and his wife, the Reverend Adrienne Brewington, a former attorney, to provide opportunities for law students who have an interest in the area of civil rights and to encourage and foster students who have a desire to explore and experience what it is like to work in a fast-paced, small law firm that is involved in high-profile civil rights litigation work. Please note our Summer Associate Program is strictly conducted in-person at our office in Hempstead, New York.
The 2026 Civil Rights Summer Associate application period is now closed. The firm is excited to welcome three (3) highly competitive and talented law students from across the nation to our office this summer.
If you will be a 3L in the 2027-2028 Academic Year, please check back in January 2027 for the beginning of the next application cycle. In the meantime, you can stay up to date with the happenings of the firm by signing up for our monthly newsletter.
