This year’s Summer Associates Survey garnered re­sponses from 3,000 interns at 137 firms, 101 of which qualified for the Overall Rankings chart. The survey was conducted from early June to mid-August. Surveys were distributed through the firms’ recruiting coordinators, whom we contact in the spring about participation. Eligible summer associates are first- and second-year law students (classes of 2011 and 2012) clerking at firms for at least three weeks during the summer. Respondents are guaranteed anonymity.

Firms included in the Overall Rankings chart are those from which we received at least ten completed surveys. Individual offices listed on the Results by City chart are those from which we received at least five surveys. To determine scores for individual questions, we average respondents’ answers on a firmwide basis for the Overall Rankings chart and on a citywide basis for the Results by City chart. All question averages are rounded to two decimal places. Scores for firms are calculated from those rounded question averages, then rounded to three decimal places.
