The Firm Says
As a summer associate, we want you to experience what it is like to be a lawyer within our offices—both working with clients and getting to know your colleagues on a professional and personal level. During the summer program, the firm provides you with many opportunities to gain substantive and practical knowledge in addition to meeting our lawyers and gaining a better understanding of our firm's heritage and culture. The cornerstone of our summer program, Baker Weekend, brings together summer associates and lawyers from all seven of our domestic offices for a weekend of training and social events. Our summer associates enjoy a weekend of socializing with each other and our attorneys in a fun, casual setting.
