The number of law students who spent their summers working at major law firms inched up between 2011 and 2012, and for the second straight year, nearly all those students’ efforts were rewarded with offers of full-time employment.
The related findings come from two recent American Lawyer surveys: the magazine’s summer hiring survey, which asked firms for general information about their most recent summer associate classes, and an informal Am Law Daily poll that queried some two dozen national firms specifically about what percentage of their 2012 summer associates had received job offers.
