WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
SUN, SCREEN - Alas, another summer in front of the computer at home instead of…in front of the computer in an office. Following months of uncertainty over their summer associate programs, several large law firms have decided to make their 2021 programs virtual for a second year in a row, though some are leaving the door open for potential in-person events. As Law.com’s Dylan Jackson and Justin Henry report, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, Goodwin Procter and Ropes & Gray will have completely virtual 10-week summer associate programs. Meanwhile, summer programs at Latham & Watkins; Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer; Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher; Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton; and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati will be virtual and full-length as well, though the firms have said that there may be in-person events toward the end of the program.
