We Know What You Did Harvard Summer(Or: A summer associate fired, and it's not even July.)

Man down! We’re not even into July, and it seems that one summer associate has already gotten himself fired. (We’re fairly sure it was a him, but please correct us if we’re wrong.)

Generally SAs are terrified this summer, and therefore on their best behavior. But one fellow apparently didn’t get the memo. Interestingly enough, according to multiple sources, the fired summer is a student at the hallowed Harvard Law School.

Details are a little sketchy, so please treat this as an early draft. The story will surely evolve, as summer associate stories often do. E.g., Skadden Cristal Boy (original version here, alternate version here); Kirkland & Ellis’s Bruised Booze Cruiser (original version here, alternate version here); the Sapphic Smoochers (compare the different versions of the story by scrolling down through the Lindquist & Vennum archives).

Here’s the abridged version:

There are rumors floating around among HLS students that a summer got himself fired. As far as details, I had heard that he talked back to a partner.

A more detailed account, suggesting that alcohol was involved, after the jump.

Here’s the more extensive version, from a different tipster:

Apparently the HLS 2L was at a summer event, got trashed, and started swearing at a partner (dropping the f bomb, etc.). The summer was so drunk he couldn’t remember where he lived, so the partner had to look him up in the summer associate database and then put him into a cab — all while the SA was swearing like crazy at him.

As noted above, this is a preliminary account. Do you have a correction, clarification, or additional details? Might you be the fired summer associate, eager to set the record straight? If you have anything to add, please email us (ideally from a non-work computer or personal iPhone or Blackberry). You can also call us, at 212-334-1871 (ext. 3 for Elie, ext. 9 for Lat). Thanks.

P.S. Consistent with ATL policy regarding summer associate stories, please do not name this SA in the comments. Thanks.
