Some Biglaw Firms Will Still Be Holding Their Summer Associate Programs Virtually

Ugh. Thanks, COVID. Maybe next year these will be held in person?

We’re really aiming to give them that true, in-person experience, but just doing it by another avenue.

— Jenny Connelly, Sidley Austin’s national legal recruiting director, commenting on the format of the firm’s 10-week summer associate program, which will be held virtually this year, except in its Dallas and Houston offices. The firm will be hosting 180 summers, and some in-person events for everyone may be considered as the summer goes on.
