“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.”
