Recruiting

MTO places great importance on recruiting attorneys from diverse backgrounds, and believes that our firm can be a platform for success for every lawyer we hire. MTO offers a 1L Summer Program for exceptional first year law students who are members of racial or ethnic minority groups, are GLBT, are physically challenged or are from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. In its 2L and 3L summer program—the firm’s main hiring vehicle—54 percent of the 2011 group are minorities or women and 53 percent of 2010’s group were minorities or women.

Diversity Workshop
MTO associate Misty Sanford
Success that Can be Measured!

Each Spring, MTO associate Misty Sanford spearheads one of the most popular and successful pipeline initiatives at our firm - The Law School Admissions Workshop.  MTO has partnered with For People of Color, Inc. to host an annual workshop devoted to empowering people of color who desire to enter the legal profession.  Our lawyers share their insights into the law school application process as well as their own experiences as law school students.  Past student attendees at FPOC workshops have continued on to attend some of the nation’s best law schools and have become associates at major law firms.
