Getting Hired
Tips from the inside
City connection
The hiring process at M&E isn't particularly intense, however it can be competitive-particularly for local law students due to the fact that the firm receives applications from "most of the top third of the second-year law class from New Jersey schools."

The firm tends to "seek out law students who have a personal connection to the city of the office for which they are applying."
