Survey Says


  • “I received a series of formal training meetings for various projects. Most training was done informally through one-on-one meetings with supervising attorneys. Work assignments resembled what a first-year associate would be working on; they did not give me meaningless tasks.”
  • “Summer associate assignments were meaningful and provided an opportunity for entrepreneurial summer associates to contribute to active cases in a variety of ways. Often, assignments involved significant interactions with partners and senior associates involved in the case.”
