Advice to law firm management:
Have the senior firm leadership set a better example on how they treat the rest of the staff. They could be much more encouraging instead of demanding.
Pros:
There is a very large and diverse set of cases on which to work and learn. You get to work very closely with top level lawyers and see how they operate.
Cons:
Some of the upper level lawyers don't really see you as a person, but more of tool sometimes. They expect very long hours that cut into your personal life.

Summer associate program
The summer provides an excellent opportunity for the law student to get to know the firm and for the firm to assess the ability of the law student to handle the kinds of problems presented in the firm's practice. To these ends, the summer program is designed to treat a summer associate to the greatest extent possible in the same manner as a permanent associate. Summer associates work on real problems, not "make-work," and those problems often involve far more than library research. In recent years, for example, summer associates have assisted at depositions, court proceedings and closings. Summer associates participate in a wide variety of client meetings, witness interviews, negotiation sessions and fact-gathering projects and, on some occasions, they have traveled to other offices. A Trial Advocacy Workshop and a Corporate Negotiations Workshop are included in our summer program to provide summer associates the opportunity to test and develop their litigation techniques and negotiation skills.
