Work

Real cases, real clients.

As a summer associate, we think you’ll be surprised by how quickly you become an integral part of our legal team at Goodwin Procter. On any given day, you might find yourself immersed in a deposition, a trial, a negotiation session, document drafting, a client meeting, or some other hands-on professional work experience.

Each office has a unique approach to the summer associate program. Regardless of which city you choose, you will be exposed to a variety of projects and cases at different stages, so you will have both a broad overview and some deep-diving into specific issues. And we’ll encourage you to participate in any area of our practice that piques your interest, including pro bono work. At the end of the summer, you will have a better understanding of legal practices and life at our firm. To learn more about each of our offices, click on one of the locations above.

Summer Associate, '07

"Helping with a pro bono murder 1 defense has been my favorite assignment as a summer associate. I tracked down jury instructions from a specific judge and compared all the different language the judge used to help draft our jury instruction proposal."
