The summer associate program is our primary method of attorney recruitment.  We hire only a sufficient number of summer associates to fill future hiring needs.  Historically, approximately ninety percent of our summer associates are given offers for full-time employment and almost all accept our offers.  This is a record of which we are proud.

Because we restrict our summer program to a manageable size, we can give a high level of personal attention to each student.  The attorneys who administer the program are not overwhelmed with a large number of summer associates, enabling them to spend more time on an individual basis with each summer associate on assignments, feedback and social activities.

Great emphasis is placed on a diversity of assignments as each student rotates through the different departments during the 10 - 12 week program.  Students receive exposure to virtually all of our areas of practice.  The rotation system, while flexible to meet individual needs, provides the best opportunity for summer associates to ascertain interests and abilities in a professional environment.  Additionally, great effort is made to ensure that each summer associate attends trials, depositions, oral arguments, business closings, client meetings, etc.  A number of social activities, both informal and formal, are offered to enable the summer associate to get to know our attorneys.

White and Williams is committed to making its summer associate program as rewarding for the summer associates as possible.  We seek to hire those students with an excellent academic background and solid interpersonal skills who appear ready to handle the challenges of a sophisticated legal practice.
