By mid-spring, law students and law firms are gearing up for the start of summer associate programs, and your Diversity Ever After hosts are here to help! Time spent at a law firm as a summer associate can be a whirlwind of interesting and challenging assignments, networking events, and enormous personal and professional development opportunities. It can be difficult for both the law student and the law firm to figure out how to best navigate this busy time, and naturally, there are many questions (i.e., transactional work vs. litigation, when and how to give and get feedback, and critically, how to ensure that the summer associate experience is a fit for both parties). In this episode, our hosts, Reba Letsa and Nakimuli Davis-Primer, are joined by Shareholder, Tom Barnard, and incoming Associate, Sabrina Marquez, for a discussion on how to maximize your summer associate experience and tips for leaving a lasting impression. Join us as we reflect on our summer associate experiences and offer valuable insights and advice to help you navigate your time this summer and land the offer at the end.
