Cravath’s summer program is designed to provide law students with an experience that mirrors the life of a first-year associate and an opportunity to work directly for, and with, the firm’s clients. Summer associates choose to work in the Corporate, Litigation, Tax, Executive Compensation and Benefits, or Trusts and Estates departments, and they experience the day-to-day working life of a Cravath lawyer. Prior to the summer, information is collected on department and assignment preferences, and the firm assists with summer housing. Upon arrival, summer associates are assigned to a partner from their selected department who is responsible for assigning work, providing feedback, introducing the other team members, and ensuring the experience resembles that of a first-year associate. Summer associates also have an associate mentor, and there are a wide variety of events held throughout the summer that allow summer associates to socialize with the attorneys.
