SUMMER PROGRAM IN A NUTSHELL

The Quinn summer is completely unique among other programs. Starting the first week, I attended multiple hearings in federal and state court for a variety of cases. Better still, after every hearing, the lead partner would ask: “What did you think?” ...

I liked that assignments weren’t “one and done”—I was fully integrated into the case teams and really got a feel for what it would like to work on matters as an associate. There are also a plethora of opportunities to attend mediations, hearings, and...

On Day 1 itself, we received our first assignments and dove headfirst into legal research and writing.  By Week 3, I was already sitting in on depositions, drafting portions of a motion for summary judgement, and reporting directly to partners on com...

There is hardly any other peer firm that entrusts their summer associates with as much responsibility as QE while simultaneously prioritizing our learning and well-being. QE’s focus on high-stakes trial work also offers an especially unique experienc...

From my first day as a summer associate, I immersed myself in the full lifecycle of litigation—actively drafting and contributing to, among other things, search terms, mediation statements, and cross-examination outlines. But my summer was also rich ...

I had the privilege of contributing to a litigation case I had been following even before my summer. To get hands-on experience with such a cutting-edge matter as a summer associate was both thrilling and formative. At every step, the feedback I rece...

I’m so grateful to have spent my summer at Quinn Emanuel. I was doing interesting work from my first day in the office. My mentors and colleagues were not only some of the brightest attorneys I have ever worked with, but they were also so warm and do...
