The firm's published description sets out a ten-week summer experience beginning with orientation and exposure to a variety of practice work. Summer associates receive mentors to help them navigate assignments and opportunities. The stated goal is to provide a broad introduction to the firm's practices and integrate students into its professional environment.
For students considering Taft, the local office remains an important part of the inquiry. The firmwide program supplies a shared framework, while the particular teams and matters available in a location shape the experience. Its recruiting materials identify the participating offices and explain how mentoring and professional development fit into the summer.
