Summer associate season brings both exciting energy and real preparation challenges for law firm librarians. How do you equip a cohort of law students with the research skills and tools they need to hit the ground running — often in just a matter of weeks? This one-hour member roundtable will explore how law librarians can prepare to support summer associates before the summer and as they arrive at their firms.
Featuring speakers from both a law firm and a law school, this discussion will highlight expectations from each side of the pipeline—what students learn in law school, what firms expect when they arrive, and how librarians can bridge the gap. Panelists will share practical strategies for onboarding, research training and resource orientation.
Participants will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss common challenges, and share approaches that have been effective at their own institutions. This interactive session is designed for anyone working with summer associates in a law school or law firm setting.
