All the summer program’s a stage. And all the attorneys merely players. They have their exits and their entrances. And one associate in her time plays many parts.

Her roles can be categorized into five characters. At first there is the Buddy: dining and entertaining on the firm’s budget. Second, there is the Summer Schmoozer: in humor and high spirits with good times had by all, with warm hearts and legends of summers past, and full of wise advice and modern anecdotes. Third, there is the Delegator, who is entrusted with work, teaching her Aspiring (a/k/a “summers”) a craft, and made to succeed in the art of advocacy.
