The summer associate program includes substantive assignments, mentoring, networking, and learning activities. For patent prosecution and litigation candidates, the firm identifies technical backgrounds, such as science or engineering degrees that qualify for the patent bar, as particularly relevant. These roles connect legal training with the scientific or technical subject matter of client work.
For students, the distinction between a general summer role and a patent-focused role is useful when exploring the firm. The broader program provides exposure to practice, while specialized opportunities call for additional qualifications and interests. Its US law student materials explain the application requirements and how office and practice choices fit into the recruiting process.
