  • Do real client work: draft memorandums; write client alerts; research areas of the law; and attend meetings or court hearings
  • Learn about different practice areas and deepen your knowledge of the law
  • Have continual support and feedback through your allocated supervisor (partner), mentor (senior associate) and buddy (graduate)
