The goal of our program is to expose summer associates to the various areas of our practice and provides both the firm and the summer associate the opportunity for mutual evaluation. To ensure that each summer associate has a wide range of legal experiences during the summer, a Summer Associate Committee carefully monitors the work of summer associates. A supervising attorney also is assigned to each summer associate to provide guidance and direction. Summer associates who have completed two years of law school are encouraged to obtain certification under Rule 9 of the Washington Admission to Practice Rules, which authorizes them to participate in discovery proceedings. In the past, summer associates have met with clients, participated in discovery proceedings, and argued matters in District and Superior Courts.
Opportunities exist for a wide variety of challenging legal experiences.
Although we view the Summer Associate Program as a working experience, it is our goal to make the summer with the firm both intellectually stimulating and personally rewarding. Workplace Environment Karr Tuttle Campbell values quality of work and quality of life for our attorneys and staff alike. Our founding partners were ground-breakers in the early 1900's hiring female attorneys. We continue to be progressive and open minded in meeting the needs of our attorneys and staff whenever possible. Karr Tuttle Campbell has attorneys and staff members who telecommute or work flexible schedules.
