Orientation: Your Saul Ewing summer program begins with 2 days in our Philadelphia office with the entire summer program team. We'll help you get your bearings and impart basic survival skills like computer and telephone training. On day two, you'll start to learn what your colleagues participating in the summer program are really made of during a scavenger hunt exploring the streets of Philadelphia.
Real Work Experience: Throughout your summer, you'll draft memos and briefs that will actually be read by clients and judges. You'll attend client meetings, closings, court conferences, depositions and trials. In many cases, you'll even get to handle your own pro bono case. Real, meaningful work experience forms the foundation of the Saul Ewing summer program.
Legal Writing and Bluebooking Workshops: Saul Ewing will work hard to refine and sharpen your legal writing and bluebooking skills during the course of your summer. You'll get practical, hands-on guidance from talented legal writers in a workshop series format.
Evaluations and Feedback: You'll never be "in the dark" during your summer program experience at Saul Ewing. Each of your assignments will be carefully evaluated by your assigning attorney, who will provide you with direct feedback. You will also be given both a mid-summer evaluation and an evaluation at the conclusion of the program. We'll candidly share with you what we see as your strengths and where we see room for improvement. Through these programs, you'll be kept informed as to your progress throughout your summer experience.
