Assignments
A significant part of the summer experience at Alston & Bird is the ability to work on substantive work for real clients. We don’t believe in creating busy work or setting arbitrary deadlines for evaluative purposes. Summer associates work closely with their mentors to identify projects from our firm-wide database that will not only allow for an authentic experience based on their legal interests, but will cover the skills needed by the assigning attorney and the Hiring Committee to fairly assess the work file at the end of the summer.
