SUMMER ASSOCIATE PROGRAM SUMMARY

Spencer Fane's Summer Associate Program typically starts the week before Memorial Day each year and runs for 10 weeks, 40 hours/week. There are two goals of the program - first, to provide summer associates meaningful work experience and exploration of the firm's diverse range of legal services; and second, to facilitate informal social interaction to allow summer associates to begin developing relationships with our attorneys and staff. To provide meaningful work experience, you should expect to be assigned real assignments, which are assigned from a variety of practice groups and different attorneys. We encourage summer associates to choose projects in practice areas that appeal to their interests and to take projects from a broad range of assigning attorneys. Summer associates are often given the opportunity to attend client meetings, depositions, mediations, and other court-related appearances. As much as possible, Spencer Fane attempts to align the legal and personal interests of each summer associate with a mentor who can support the summer associate's goals for the summer. Mentors serve as a resource for questions big and small. Spencer Fane values high quality legal writing and, consequently, we also assign a writing mentor to each summer associate to provide constructive feedback on written work product.
