&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;“As a summer, I felt like I was creating work product that was actually beneficial to and being used by the assigning attorneys.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“It was a pretty even split between research assignments and projects where a large quantity of paperwork needed to be inventoried and/or organized. It was sometimes substantive. And I always felt like I had the support and appreciation of the assigning and supervising attorney.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“The firm allowed summer associates to work across all practice groups and take on a variety of assignments. I felt challenged by the work that I did and felt like it prepared me for the work I would take on as a first-year associate.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Like most things, everyone&#39;s experience will differ, but I generally felt like some of the projects I worked on were similar to that of a first-year attorney (research, compilation of agreements, etc.).”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

Summer Program Reviews

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;“There were, at least, weekly social events, which were always well-planned and often well-attended by firm attorneys. And my group of summer associates got along very well, and we are still friends.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“The firm makes sure that there are a variety of events for summer associates to attend. The firm encourages attorneys to attend so that summer associates can start building relationships at the firm.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Polsinelli does a really good job of having summer events with their firm clients. This highlights the importance of these relationships and shows the value that attorney-client relationships can improve the community.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“The firm did not overload the calendar with social events, which I appreciated. I know some firms have events three times per week, which is a little unrealistic.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;“The firm and the office were very clear that the summer associate work and lifestyle were [to be] an introduction to the office culture and type of work and [to encourage] forming relationships with coworkers. There was no expectation as a summer to work evenings or weekends. But it was mentioned that those would be potential [expectations] as an associate.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Different: You need to be more proactive and responsible to solicit and gather feedback. Pleasant surprise: Given substantive legal work and client face time [in the first year].”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“I think my experience as a summer associate was a fair representation of the work I do now, albeit it is harder to be an associate than a summer associate as there is more work to manage.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Bowling, magic show.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“The diversity retreat is always the highlight of the summer. Truly a great way for the diverse summers, associates, and shareholders from all offices to interact and network.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“I enjoyed the dinners that we had (one at an attorney&#39;s home and one at a restaurant), as they were well-attended and great ways to really get to know people. I also enjoyed some of the active events such as the ax throwing event and the escape room event, which were fun ways to interact in a different environment.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Nashville Symphony or Cheekwood Botanical Gardens.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
