Each summer associate participates in an exit interview during his or her last week at the firm. At this time offers of full-time employment are extended. The summer program is the primary source for our full-time hiring, and we typically give offers to each member of the summer class.

During the exit interview, the reviewing partner and the summer associate discuss the feedback the summer associate received from supervising lawyers. In addition, summer associates are asked to state their department preferences should they return to the firm full-time after graduation. Information on department assignment is provided prior to arrival as a full-time associate.
