Kirkland & Ellis, Sidley Austin, Baker & Hostetler and other law firms announced this week that they are dramatically shortening their traditional summer associate programs—which are already being held virtually given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Kirkland’s program will last two weeks with a June 15 start date, while Sidley’s summer associate programs will be at least four weeks long, the firm said Thursday. Sidley’s program in New York will start July 6 and end July 31.
