Frequently Asked Questions

Will I make a real contribution during the summer associate program or just perform "busy work"?

Anonymous Law Firm LLP: Recruiting FAQ
What do you think? Do you really think you can be trusted to do critical work? We don't even know you! You don't learn anything in law school to help you do real work. All you learn is theory. Theory doesn't help the client fire its employees without paying them severance. Theory doesn't help the client continue to dump toxic waste in the drinking water. You have to learn these things. And the way you learn them is by sorting paper into boxes. We know what we're doing.
