Dorsey & Whitney LLP

Professional development is a visible part of Dorsey's recruiting approach. Dorsey U provides in-house education, while the summer associate program includes mentoring and opportunities to learn how practicing lawyers approach client matters. These resources give students several ways to develop skills beyond an individual assignment, including structured instruction and relationships with more experienced attorneys.

Dorsey's office-specific recruiting materials are particularly useful when comparing opportunities. They explain local summer program arrangements rather than treating every location as interchangeable. Students interested in the firm can use those materials to distinguish the geographic reach of the overall practice from the experience offered by a particular recruiting office.
