For each project, the supervising attorney provides the Employment Committee with a written evaluation of your work. We also maintain a file of all of your written product which is reviewed by the Employment Committee at the end of the summer. In addition to a formal mid-summer evaluation, we strongly encourage every attorney to give detailed feedback on any project you perform. You will find that most attorneys are willing to sit down with you and review your written project or research results in detail. Your mentor is also available to review any and all of your work product and help you get it into final form.
Every summer associate is assigned two mentors, a partner and an associate.
Your associate mentor will serve as a valuable sounding board on projects, the firm, and any questions which may arise. In addition, mentors help you finalize your written work product and help you when you hit a brick wall on a research assignment. You will be assigned a permanent TC secretary who you will share with other attorneys or summer associates. In addition, we have word processing staff available to help you with your larger projects. Our training department can help you get up to speed on any programs which are unfamiliar.
