Work Assignments

The Summer Program Coordinator will work closely with every summer associate on the distribution of work projects. Attorneys will contact the Summer Program Coordinator with a project. It will then be assigned to a particular summer associate based on a number of factors, which include personal interest in specific areas of law, current work flow, and an opportunity to work with different attorneys and practice groups. As the summer associate continues to build relationships with attorneys throughout the firm, attorneys may contact the summer associate directly to work on a specific project. Projects are assigned from Litigation and Corporate practice groups, as well as specific areas within those practices. In past years, summer associates have had opportunities to work on tasks within Securities, Broker-Dealer, Employment Law, Antitrust, Medical Malpractice, Tax, General Litigation, Mergers & Acquisitions, Real Estate, and the list goes on…

Attorneys will also integrate the summer associate into their practices as much as possible by taking them to client meetings in and out of the office, participating in conference calls, attending closings, trials, hearings, depositions, negotiations, and travel, if and when appropriate. At Rogers & Hardin, these activities truly show a summer associate what it is like to be a lawyer.

During recent Summer Programs, all summer associates have had numerous opportunities to participate in interesting work related “field trips,” including watching opening statements or closing arguments of a trial; observing witnesses being examined in court; attending client meetings, closings, appellate arguments, depositions, mediations, and arbitrations; as well as participating in significant conferences or calls related to the work projects the summer associate is handling. These are just a sampling of the many experiences that summer associates encounter during their summer at Rogers & Hardin.
