Our 2011 Summer Associates

Diverse, curious and inspiringly talented – that’s our 2011 Summer Associates class.

When not scoring at the top of their law school classes, writing for law review or delving into politics, these attorneys-in-training have studied in Bolivia and Peru, perform with jazz and rock bands, and explore exotic cuisine. Meet our summer associates:
