Practice Areas
Proskauer has no formal rotation. Summers "rank their interest in different departments and practice areas and they will receive assignments based on their interests and the availability of work in their specific office." Each office has an assignment coordinator who allocates work submitted through an online portal. At the end of the summer, summers formally rank practice area preferences and are placed in departments shortly after the program ends.
Inclusion
Proskauer's attorney engagement networks are open to all and run programs for networking, engagement and education. The firm also runs the Silver Scholar program, a $50,000 award paid in installments to selected 2L summer associates.
