Law Students
Cooley's summer associate program
There’s no better way to learn what it’s like to be an associate at Cooley than to spend a summer with us.
Our summer program is designed to give participants an unfiltered introduction to life and practice at the firm. We are committed to providing extraordinary legal services in a professional, collaborative and fun environment.
Professional development
A summer at Cooley provides a realistic view of what it’s like to practice law here. We combine meaningful work and comprehensive training with a variety of events that enable law school students to get to know our team.
Work assignments relate to ongoing client matters, offer practical exposure to the firm’s client base and practice, and are representative of an associate’s work.
During my time as a summer associate, I was given meaningful and substantive work assignments. Many assignments were similar to things that I am doing as a first-year associate. The training program at Cooley is very extensive, and the mentorship is top notch.
