Recent summer associates have worked on varied and interesting projects, including drafting documents for software licensing, drafting pleadings for environmental litigation, drafting closing documents for a commercial real estate transaction and assisting with the closing and participating in strategy meetings and negotiations on a multi-million-dollar acquisition of a business. Our summer associates projects are not simply “busy work” created to evaluate the individual, but rather contribute directly to some case or project. Projects are assigned to summer associates by a partner from the Recruiting Committee who acts as the Summer Program Director. The director receives project requests directly from attorneys throughout the firm and assigns projects to summer associates, keeping in mind each summer associate's workload and practice area interests. The director also monitors the summer associates' workload to ensure that summer associates have the appropriate amount of work for their schedules. The Recruiting Committee strives to provide timely and effective feedback and evaluation for summer associates throughout the summer. The attorneys assigning projects provide the summer associate with a verbal evaluation of each project as it is completed. Assigning attorneys complete written evaluations also. The Recruiting Committee provides the summer associate with an interim review and an exit review for more formal feedback.
