For students working at a law firm this summer (as 1Ls or 2Ls), we want you to be set up for success from Day 1.
Join CDO private sector counselors and a panel of students who worked at law firms last summer to discuss issues including:
- doing the work
- best practices for communicating with attorneys
- what to wear
- how to handle assignments and deadlines
- what to expect with social events and firm-sponsored meals
- finding mentors
