ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
HistoryModrall, Sperling, Roehl, Harris & Sisk, P.A. has deep roots in the Southwest. It can trace its earliest impulse to 1935, when two lawyers, one of them a former justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court, the other a former cowboy and rancher, faced each other down as opposing counsel in the memorable trial of 10 coal miners accused of murdering a sheriff in Gallup, N.M. These two attorneys, John Simms and James "Dick" Modrall, later joined forces to start the firm that would become Modrall Sperling. Today, the lawyers of Modrall Sperling no longer practice criminal law, but instead represent clients in a wide range of civil matters, including, for example, bankruptcy, federal taxation, Indian law and employment discrimination.

Tips from the inside
Top third of their class
Although Modrall Sperling does much of its hiring through its summer program, it also considers inquiries from lawyers and law students who have not participated in the program. Applications from experienced attorneys are always welcomed, and those who do participate in the summer program are free to split their summers. The candidates who catch this firm's eye rank in the top third of their law school class, but also have an interest in the community at large, as demonstrated by participation in extracurricular activities. And the firm is not closed-minded with regard to the law schools from which it hires. Currently, Modrall Sperling attorneys hold JDs from over 30 different schools.
