Job Search / What does a summer asssociate do?
« on: December 21, 2007, 07:28:39 AM »
I was fortunate enough to receive an offer from a great law firm in the area I want to practice. Even though this is a 1L position, I would really like to work at this firm post-graduation. Needless to say, I want to make a good impression. Are firms usually understanding that, outside of the required 1L classes, 1Ls typically don't know much? Do they try to coach and supervise your learning to make sure you have a good work product or do they expect summer associates to already know what they should be doing? Should I be doing anything other than working on my legal research and writing skills to prepare for the summer?
Any advice from those who have been through it would be greatly appreciated.
