Summer Program Overview


ArentFox Schiff summer associates learn first-hand what life is like as an associate at the firm. You will do real work for real clients, and your experience closely resembles the workload of a junior associate. The work is important, responsibilities are clear, and the expectations are realistic. Most importantly, you will work directly with partners – just like our associates. We also encourage lawyers to involve summer associates in “live” learning opportunities, including negotiations, depositions, hearings, or closings.

Our workflow was monitored to make sure we had enough to stay busy and learn but not drown. For training, we had practice group sessions that introduced us to different areas as we were undesignated, floating around all summer.
