Here at Darby & Darby we strive to provide our summer associates with a truly exceptional experience. It is our goal for our summer associates to experience what life at Darby will be like upon graduation from law school. We believe in having our summer associates maintain an appropriate balance of work, social events within the firm and a life outside of Darby.
We give our summer associates work assignments which are representative of the work our full-time junior associates are handling. We provide the summer associates with feedback, formal reviews and an opportunity for them to select the type of work they are interested in. In addition, each summer associate is paired with a mentor, an associate in the firm, who will help acquaint them with the culture and practice of law at Darby.
Our summer associates are invited and encouraged to attend depositions, settlement conferences and court appearances along with Darby attorneys.
In addition to acquainting our summer associates with the work experience and practice of law at Darby, we provide an opportunity for our summer associates to get to know all of the attorneys at Darby through various social events. Some of the highlights of our social calendar include: Wine Tasting, Yankee Games, a Broadway Show, Dinner at Sammy's Roumanian, Dinner in Little Italy, Cooking school and several informal cocktail receptions throughout the summer.
We believe that spending a summer with Darby will be an exceptional experience and will provide great insight into life as an associate with Darby. Please read on and see what our summer associates are saying about us...
