After shrinking to their lowest levels in recent memory last year, summer associate classes at more than 70 leading law firms grew at least modestly this year and the average summer class size at more than 100 firms was up 25 percent, according to The American Lawyer’s latest summer hiring survey.
Of the 126 firms that responded to the 2011 survey, 111 provided class size figures for both 2010 and 2011. This summer’s average class size at those 111 firms is 33.3 associates, a 25 percent increase over the 26.7 associates the same firms employed last summer. Overall, 71 firms hired more summer associates than they did in 2010.
