Law Student Associate Programs
As a national boutique law firm concentrating in federal court Securities Litigation and public company Mergers & Acquisitions and Restructurings and Workouts, The Basile Law Firm P.C. is also a national leader of law student development offering law students 3 different participation programs. Each of our programs are designed to provide law students with experiential learning experiences outside the classrooms, in a real world working environment. The firm treats all LSA's as attorneys and all LSA's are assigned an attorney supervisor/mentor for the length of their program. The programs have been developed and are supervised by former law professor, Mark R. Basile, the managing shareholder of the firm. All of our programs include direct supervision by a licensed senior attorney, group learning sessions, as well as case participation in oral arguments, trials and outside networking/social events.

LSA Internship Program
Our LSA Internship Program allows law students the ability to gain valuable real-world legal training during both the Fall and Spring Semesters. Some law schools allow work for credit and many students take advantage of this program to compliment their coursework during the semesters.
LSA Externship Program
Our most popular program, many law schools offer Externship/Mentor programs as an alternative or compliment to in-school clinics and course offerings. Externship programs usually require at least 140 hours of time working at a firm for course credit and require weekly or monthly progress reports to your school's programs supervisor.
LSA Summer Program
Many law firms offer summer programs but few tailor their programs to suit a students interests. Our applicants have diverse interests within our firms practice areas and we carefully match up students interests to work assignments as well as their supervising attorney.
