The Washington, D.C. summer associate program is designed to provide practical experience and training to the summer associate. Summer associates receive exposure to each of our practice areas and have the opportunity to work with lawyers from each of our departments. Summer associates are encouraged to work in as few or as many different departments as they desire. Each summer associate has a partner and an associate mentor. Among other things, mentors provide guidance on assignments and answer questions regarding transition from law school to life in a law firm.
Summer associates receive three formal reviews during the summer.
Offers of employment are extended from a department and are communicated to summer associates on their last day with the firm.
