Today was the first day of the summer program.  The summer associates were in orientation for most of the day, learning about the various administrative departments and procedures. 

We had lunch with the Managing Partner, John Sumberg, the Executive Director, Michelle Weber, and the Hiring Partner, Marshall Pasternack.  John provided us with an overview of the firm history and Marshall presented the firm’s vision.  It’s important for the summer associates to understand our firm culture and to share in our firm vision from the very beginning. 

After lunch, off to computer training and then the summer associates met their mentors.

By the end of the week, the summer associates will start blogging and you’ll hear from them directly about the remainder of orientation and the summer program.
