Lawyer Interview Question:

Tell me how is work assigned in your summer associate program?

Submitted by: Muhammad

What does the firm do to ensure that each summer gets a good mix of assignments? How much say do summers have in choosing assignments? How many of the partners/associates/staff attorneys is a summer likely to work with? Is there a centralized source of assignments, or will my work be assigned from a department head, or from one partner?
