The Firm Says
CFDB brings on 1L Summer Associates for a ten-week program. During this time, they work on a variety of projects ranging from research and writing articles to assisting with ancillary deal documents to drafting demand letters. They are not assigned to any specific practice area, so they get a wide range of exposure to different law practices. When they are not working on client work with attorneys, they are exploring the city with their assigned Associate and Partner mentors.
