Summer Associate Program

Profile

Summer Associate Program

The goal of the program is to integrate summer associates into cases and into the life of the firm as much as possible over the few short weeks of summer. Summer associates assist partners and associates with research and writing assignments that help advise clients, to develop litigation strategies and to file court papers. In addition, summer associates often draft pleadings and motions that the attorneys are able to refine and present to a client or file in court. As the summer progresses, one can expect to work with a number of attorneys on a variety of issues, with increasingly challenging assignments and opportunities. The firm also encourages attorneys to invite summer associates to take part in various stages of advocacy: strategy sessions, client meetings, depositions, and hearings. A typical summer stay is 12 weeks, but the length and exact timing is negotiable.
