"My advice to summer associates is twofold: Learn everything you can about the firm and the practice of law in which you are most interested. Second, consider the summer to be one long job interview. Can you see yourself there? Do you like the people, because you will be spending a lot of time with them after you graduate? Can the attorneys see you there?"
