Leonard, Street and Deinard's 2L Summer Associate program is designed to give law students a realistic, on-the-job portrayal of daily life as an associate attorney. Our program features many unique components that set us apart from other firms.
Summer Associates assume a realistic caseload, managing multiple cases at a time. They receive feedback and coaching from seasoned attorneys, engage in pro bono legal service, participate in professional development through the firm's Deinard University curriculum and work closely with a legal writing coach to hone their skills. And, because it's important for law students to network with their peers and practicing attorneys, a variety of social events also are an essential part of the framework of our Summer Associate program.
