Mintz

• “You will get substantive work assignments and be billing clients as a summer. The trainings are okay—very boilerplate.”
• “Mintz gave real assignments that actually translated to filed paper.”
• “I completed substantive work, including [preparing] presentations, drafting slide decks, and doing research.”
• “Really cool summer program with meaningful substantive assignments across a range of corporate topics.”

• “Favorite summer events: boating on the Boston harbor, dumpling-making class.”
• “Good internal events with attorneys.”
• “… My favorite event was bowling.”
• “Super fun events with a lot of associates and partners attending, including a Red Sox game, sailing on Boston Harbor, and many cocktail hours.”

• “When you are a summer, the workflow is very standardized and equally dispersed through the summers. When you are an associate, there is an open market for work, which leads to uneven distribution of work/hours.”
• “It seems there might not be as much flexibility within the practice area as I had thought.”
• “I have received more responsibility than expected.”
• “It has been similar. The main difference is that we now have fewer social events.”

Our small class size coupled with our mentorship programs makes for an engaging, supportive, and enriching summer experience. Our summer associates select a practice area of interest (corporate, litigation, or intellectual property) and are immersed in that practice area for the duration of the program. Summer associates work on an array of matters, often staffed on cases or deal teams, where they can gain real, hands-on experience working side by side with our lawyers. We have a robust professional development program that includes simulations and on-your-feet practice that are based on real client work. Summer associates are also encouraged to participate in our extensive pro bono opportunities. After spending the summer at Mintz, our summer associates know our lawyers, understand what we do, and are ready to hit the ground running after law school.
