&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Training &amp;amp; Assignments&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“As a summer associate, I was able to work on substantive assignments that helped to move my cases forward. The rotations through different practice areas helped me to make an informed decision when it was time to choose a practice group.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“I received very substantive work that paralleled the assignments of an associate. My work was used or referenced in meetings with clients, strategy meetings, etc. I was also able to work on a wide variety of matters as a summer associate.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“The responsibility and work experience was unparalleled. For example, as a summer associate, I worked directly with one of the firm&#39;s founding (and named) partners on a litigation matter and drafted portions of an appellate brief we filed in the Second Circuit.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social Opportunities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“I appreciated that the firm had a diverse array of social events from museum visits to dinners. I felt like I received substantial opportunities to interact with firm attorneys. There was decent camaraderie amongst our class; we were also encouraged to plan get-togethers facilitated by the firm.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“The summer associate program provided me with ample opportunities to get to know attorneys at the firm and the small class size made it easy to get to know my peers.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“The social aspects range from amazing to really boring. By the end of the summer, they do not feel well-attended.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Associate Experience vs. Summer Expectations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“My experience practicing so far matches the expectations I had when I was a summer associate. I am working directly with partners and rarely have another associate between me and the partner, so I get a lot of exposure and feedback. I have been pleasantly surprised by how much individual attention I have been given to help mentor me and develop my skills.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“Given [my] summer experience, I thought attorneys had greater control over their work schedules, which has been contrary to [my] experience as an associate.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“It has not differed; the firm is quite transparent about what life as a full-time associate will be like.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite Summer Events&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“Movie visits, museum visits, dinners hosted by firm attorneys.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“Jeopardy. They also sent us bagels and pizza once, which was amazing and a great intro to New York City.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;“We attended a Jennifer Lopez concert and got to meet Alex Rodriguez and J-Lo!”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
