The firm's summer program gives us an opportunity to evaluate the legal skills of developing lawyers in a realistic work environment. You'll also enjoy yourself . . . We believe the practice of law should be both professionally rewarding and personally satisfying, and that philosophy shows in our summer program. From participation in trials, depositions or transactional closings, to participation in the Firm's summer canoe outing and the Associates' golf outing, you'll see what we mean. Participants in our summer program work on matters similar to those assigned to our associates.
Summer associates travel to client locations and assist our attorneys in addressing client needs.
Those working on corporate-oriented projects can expect exposure to drafting and negotiation sessions, while summer associates involved with litigation will gain familiarity with depositions and court and administrative proceedings. We pride ourselves on making every effort to have permanent employment to our summer associates. Summer associates who accept an employment offer are often given the opportunity to work as part-time research assistants during the school year. This gives students an additional opportunity to familiarize themselves with the firm and to earn additional money to cover educational costs. Upon joining us as associates, these individuals are given flexible options of working full or part-time while preparing for the bar exam, the costs of which are borne by the Firm.
