One unique opportunity our summer associate class had was to be the first to have access to CoCounsel, Westlaw’s legal specific AI tool. During our final week, we had the opportunity to share with the Associate Committee some of our experiences using the tool so that they could better leverage it within their practice groups.

This wasn’t just any transaction—it was a meticulously crafted exercise, designed by none other than Jessica Buchsbaum, to impart invaluable lessons about the complexities of
As a summer associate at Bilzin, I have had the immense privilege of gaining experience across several fascinating areas of the legal world, from research assignments for litigation to client meetings with private developers.
