Herum\Crabtree\Suntag treats its Summer Associates like associate attorneys and thus you will be given a considerable amount of responsibility. Summer Associates draft motions, complaints, answers, discovery requests and responses; sections of appellate briefs; assist in trial preparation; draft corporate formation documents and conduct legal research. Emphasis is placed on the quality of the work as opposed to the quantity and accordingly there is no set billable hour requirement. We strongly encourage Summer Associates to monitor state and local administrative hearings, trials, depositions and attend client meetings to see their research and document drafting put to use in the business world and courtroom.
Because firm culture and the local community play a meaningful role in deciding on your legal career, we organize various social events to bring the entire office together and to educate you about the local community. For instance you will have an opportunity to attend a minor league baseball game at the local ballpark that Sports Illustrated glowingly described as the finest minor league ballpark in the nation. Our firm is actively involved in a variety of local political, social and charitable community organizations.
