We also host informal dinner gatherings where Summer Associates can socialize with our attorneys in a casual setting and learn about their experiences balancing work and personal life. At Calfee, we value the contributions of our Summer Associates and have truly enjoyed meeting exceptional students from across the country. Our attorneys, many of whom started their careers as Summer Associates, are committed to maintaining this mutually rewarding tradition. We consistently hire our new associates from the Summer Associate Program, but we also interview exceptional third-year law students for associate positions based on practice area needs. In order to be considered for our program, we review undergraduate performance, law school achievement, previous employment experience, extracurricular involvement, interpersonal skills, and genuine interest in practicing law in our community and at Calfee. We highly recommend a full summer commitment for those who have not previously worked with us. We look forward to welcoming the 2025 Summer Associates to our team and providing them with a valuable and rewarding experience at Calfee. |
