Work Assignments |
Summer
associates are assigned projects that support the firm’s
work for its clients, as well as projects requiring updates
on the law, articles and speeches for continuing legal education
purposes. Throughout the summer, opportunities arise for summer
associates to attend client meetings, depositions, arbitrations,
real estate closings, appellate arguments and occasionally assist
with trials. Summer associates are also encouraged to volunteer
with the firm-sponsored pro bono legal clinic.
Summer associates divide their time working on attorney assignments
from one of two sources: (1) the general assignment listing
on the firm's Intranet where they select projects of interest;
and (2) optional assignments obtained through their involvement
in two practice groups of their choosing. Associate liaisons
to the practice groups ease the summer associate's transition
into the group by making introductions, initiating social opportunities
and by matching the summer associate with attorneys who work
in specific areas of interest. |
