New lawyers and summer associates should try to expose themselves to as many practice areas as they can. Finding a niche is important, but you need to know what area suits you first. And that comes from seeing as much as you can. Even new lawyers who have to hang out their own shingles can associate with more experienced counsel to see how it’s done in an unfamiliar area of law without stumbling through. And at a larger firm, you can always advocate to work with someone in an unfamiliar area who you can learn from. But at a certain point the real benefit can come from focusing — that’s when you really begin to add value for clients. And it’s best if the choice of specialty is born of exposure to a broad range of experiences rather than chance. #lawstudents

For new attorneys, joining a law firm can be a nerve-wracking experience. Adjusting to the firm’s culture, making new connections, solving problems they didn’t learn about in law school, and taking on the workload is daunting. How are law firms preparing new associates for these experiences? #WashingtonLawyer spoke with early career attorneys about their firms’ efforts to ensure that they are up to speed for practice and primed for success.

One of the most fun and useful things on the Summer Associate Hub platform is our PRACTICE IN P0.1NT ONE video series. (Proud moment when I realized that the "0.1" fits into the world POINT 😂) 🎤 We interview law firm attorneys about their practice in under 6 minutes (or "0.1 billable hours") -- giving law students the opportunity to quickly hear from attorneys in a quick and modern format, and get educated earlier in the recruiting process on the differences between practice areas. And giving the firms the opportunity to promote their practice and their people in a genuine way, adding a face and a conversation that a law student will remember. This episode was a great one with Laura Hernandez, Associate in the Internet Strategies group at Wilson Sonsini - Internet litigation is a fascinating area and one that many 1L students don't realize exists! Happy that Laura was able to join us and chat more about this. Our series includes other episodes from Wilson Sonsini as well as Gibson Dunn, Stroock, and others being published soon. Some of the highlights of our format: -- We feature *associates* as well as partners, to give students a well-rounded view of what law firm life is like, even from the beginning of their careers, with the realistic view that not every student will or wants to become a law firm partner. -- We cover what the attorney's average day is like, typical matter they would work on from beginning to end, why they chose that practice area, and other key questions. -- We designed this format to match the content we are used to consuming in this day and age -- short-form videos that are engaging, to the point, and authentic. Instead of a long written Q&A or 800-page practice area overview PDFs that students will never get around to reading. -- We post these on our growing social media accounts and send out in our newsletter to several hundred 1Ls at top national and regional schools around the country. If you are a law firm looking to get in front of 1Ls before the upcoming summer recruiting cycle, get in touch with us about opportunities to join our series. And if you are a law student, check out the videos to learn more! Links in the comments. 👇 #lawfirms #lawyers #lawstudents #careers

Lateral Hub never fails to impress. This new data-burst approach to summer associate support is terrific. If you haven't already noticed, the "thing" now is the 6-minute video-- and this is an entire --and valuable- series of exactly that. 6 minutes comes out to .10 worth of billing. Everyone.in.the.world can spare .10. Seriously. The best thing about this is the inclusion of actual associates speaking about their practice areas. Only they can tell you what's really involved. #summerassociates

Hello my Linkedin Network! Very happy to announce my acceptance in to the Summer LawBound program, and am even more humbled by my nomination for it. I will have the opportunity to get to understand law school and more of the "you're in law school-what now?" aspect of it. I look forward to networking with practicing attorneys and other relevant stakeholders in the coming days! #LawBoundProgram #LawSchoolJourney #FutureAttorney #LegalEducation #NetworkingOpportunity #LawStudentLife #CareerInLaw #LegalCommunity #ProfessionalGrowth #LawSchoolBound #LegalNetworking #LawSchoolExperience #AttorneyLife #LegalStudies #LawCareer
