DeMario shares exciting news.

Summer associate positions are prestigious, practical, and paid experiences for upper-level law students. Usually undertaken during the summer after your second (2L) year of law school, these positions are also stepping stones to almost guaranteed post-graduate employment, making them highly sought after.

Summer associates, and later associate attorneys, are generally hired by law firms on the basis of how well they performed in law school. Class rank, scholastic honors, and GPA are three common indicators of how well a student performed in law school. For recruiters, therefore, it becomes important to understand the grading, ranking, and award systems of law schools so that they have a better understanding of how to select and assess candidates whom they will seek to place in law firms.
