Testimonials

“The most memorable feature of my six weeks at Haynes and Boone was the nature of work – it was a true “working” summer clerkship. I attended meetings, listened in on conference calls and was tasked with completing actual client projects, as if I were a first-year lawyer. 15 years later, I still recall how surprised I was when a partner asked me a substantive question in the middle of a meeting! The summer was fun of course, but also instructive and helpful in understanding what my career at Haynes and Boone could ultimately look like. Now, as a partner, I love having the opportunity to mentor summer associates. I want our summer associates to have the same level of guidance, encouragement and support that I was fortunate to have when I was just a clueless student.”

“During my two summers with Haynes and Boone (the first as a Minority Scholar), I had the opportunity to work on a variety of meaningful projects in the practice areas that interested me. As a law student primarily interested in transactional work, the summer program allowed me to gain invaluable insight into the daily life of a corporate lawyer. From the excellent mentoring relationships to the quality of corporate work given to me as a summer associate, I had no doubt that Haynes and Boone would be the perfect fit for me.”

Catherine Cope Associate

“Haynes and Boone’s summer associate program is designed to give law students a sense of the day-to-day at the firm. As a summer associate, I got hands-on experience with diverse projects and was assigned a firm mentor who guided me through the program. For me, choosing a firm at which to start my career was a no-brainer; Haynes and Boone really made me feel like I belonged and that they wanted me to succeed.”

Matthew Costello Associate

“For me, the summer program was a perfect introduction to the famed Haynes and Boone culture. Even as an under-informed law student, I could tell that Haynes and Boone was full of really good attorneys who also happen to be really good people. I came out of the summer program knowing that Haynes and Boone was the type of place where I could build a satisfying and successful practice with people I like, and that’s exactly how it has turned out.”
