Invested in You from the Start
You will get engagement and involvement from the entire office to ensure your summer experience is a valuable one. The relatively smaller summer class size facilitates an opportunity to experience different types of practice areas.

Assignments Tailored to Your Interests
Whether you want to pursue a specific practice area in depth or try out different interests, we help you design the summer experience you want. You'll work closely with Crowell lawyers on real client matters, receiving ongoing feedback plus two formal evaluations to help you grow. Expect hands-on experience drafting motions, conducting research, negotiating contracts, interviewing witnesses, meeting clients, and observing and assisting senior lawyers in action.
A Lasting Network
You'll often hear us say, “Collaboration Powers Success”—and that starts with our summer program. Former Crowell summer associates say the ties they forged in the summer have long-term career benefits. Across offices and practice areas, summer classmates continue to call on each other for ideas, support, and friendship for many years to come.
The sophisticated work of the government contracts practice brought me here, but the people and the opportunities keep me here.
