Do not rely completely on computer proofing, such as Spell check and Grammatik. In evaluating your written work product, assigning attorneys will place great emphasis on your analytical abilities as well as on your writing abilities. Most litigation attorneys are not looking for a summary of cases when they assign projects to a summer associate. Attorneys want to see that you can apply your research to the facts of their particular case or issue. Don't be afraid to provide an answer and take a stand.
Problem solving is an important attribute for an attorney.
If your conclusion is based on thorough research and careful analysis, you will be comfortable providing answers that reflect confidence in your abilities and in your work product. If you have the opportunity to give an oral presentation to an assigning attorney after completing a project, don't be nervous. Be confident and articulate. Make every effort to be comfortable, and be yourself. After all, you are the one who has completed the research and written a memo about the issue.
