We ask that first year law students spend an entire summer with us. We urge second year law students to spend the entire summer with us, particularly if it would be their first exposure to our firm. However, we will consider requests by second year students to split the summer on a case-by-case basis. Every summer associate is assigned two mentor attorneys. We recognize the importance of feedback to help make the summer more meaningful, and we schedule formal reviews at the middle and end of the summer associate's time with us. Each summer Associate will also receive informal feedback from all of the attorneys with whom the summer associate is working as projects are completed. We make a significant commitment to our summer program, and it is our most important source for hiring new attorneys.
