About Bradley Arant Boult Cummings
Bradley traces its origins to 1870 in Elyton, Alabama, before moving to Birmingham the following year. Its business practice includes litigation, healthcare, banking and transactions, alongside construction work. The summer program gives students a mentor-assisted first project, followed by access to a project database from which they can choose assignments that match their interests. That assignment-choice model is useful context for applicants exploring different practices; it should not be mistaken for a mandatory rotation system.
