As if law school weren’t competitive enough, Am Law 200 firms are making rising second- and third-year law students work even harder to secure a spot among the dwindling number of summer associate positions offered in Big Law. Year over year, summer hires decreased an average of 2.02 percent at the 92 Am Law 200 firms participating in our Summer Associates Survey.
