Building a Well-Rounded Lawyer

Implicit in the entire approach of our Summer Program is both your need to become a skilled, well-rounded lawyer and our need to make you into one. We invest heavily in your training and professional development, right from the beginning, in the hope that you will choose — as most of our summer associates do — to make a career with us.

One Student, Many Mentors

At the heart of our summer training is the mentoring program. You will be assigned a partner mentor and an associate “buddy,” each of whom will be available to help with firm integration, assignment feedback, career advice and support. Partner mentors will deliver evaluations and regularly check in with you. Associate mentors and buddies are available for mentoring relationships of a more informal nature.

Constant Feedback

The development process cannot take place in a vacuum. Feedback is an essential component of a summer associate’s development and career satisfaction. Accordingly, we provide formal, constructive evaluations twice during the summer in addition to continual feedback throughout the summer.
