Overview

Why you should attend

In today’s tough economic environment it’s more important than ever to make the most of your summer associate experience.  If you’re fortunate enough to have secured a coveted position as a summer associate, what’s your next step?  You’re excited, overwhelmed, and maybe even nervous.  Naturally you’ve got questions.  How much work should you take on?  How should you behave at firm social functions?  How do you turn this opportunity into a permanent position at the firm?  What happens if you don’t receive an offer?  What if you receive an offer with a deferred start date?

If you haven’t yet secured a summer position and want to be ready to put yourself out there next year, this program will provide an excellent opportunity to gain valuable insight into the summer associate process.

At this free program you’ll get practical advice from law firm partners who’ve not only been through summer associate programs themselves but who are now involved in supervising the summer associates at their respective firms.

What you will learn

  • Workload and time management expectations
  • Getting feedback and dealing with criticism
  • Making the most of your mentor
  • How to take advantage of pro bono and training opportunities
  • Social expectations
New York City attendees will also have an opportunity to share their questions and concerns with our professional faculty and summer associates from other area law firms at the post-program cocktail party.
