"Firms are very aware that the competition is getting stronger. I think it's very clearly the market," Gihan Fernando, Assistant Dean for Career Services at Georgetown University Law Center, said in a Legal Times article. "Everybody is struggling to fill the increased summer associate class."

According to Raymond Grochowski, Partner and Recruiting Committee Chairman at Latham & Watkins in Washington, DC, Latham & Watkins increased its summer associate program from 37 students to 50 students after it also increased some of its practice groups. In addition, another DC firm, Hogan & Hartson expanded its summer program to allow for 84 students.


Summer internships are incredibly important to law students because they often lead to full-time positions, and with law firms doing so well at the moment, law students are feeling encouraged about their future job placements. With all the open doors, many law students are receiving between 15 and 20 different offers.

When asked how best for a firm to decide how many summer associates it needs, Thomas Hill, Chairman of Recruiting for Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman's DC office, told the Legal Times, "You have to be reasonably confident that you're right, both in terms of what the marketplace will be but also in how busy you will be.
