"We sharpened our pencils to make this year's summer associate program happen," stated Donald Scarinci, Managing Partner of the firm. "If we consider ourselves to be one of New Jersey's most prominent and respected law firms, we need to take some responsibility to help train future lawyers and provide them with some practical experience," he continued.

"Laura M. Miller, Partner and Coordinator of the summer associate program did an outstanding job selecting the class of 2020 and organizing a meaningful experience for the ten weeks they will be with firm," Mr. Scarinci stated.

This year's program will operate remotely and accommodate the summer associates in the same work-from-home environment that has been in place firmwide since lockdown began. The summer associates support the firm virtually and they will gain hands-on experience safely and with adherence to the health guidelines designed in response to COVID-19.

"I am proud that we are able to keep the program alive in the midst of the landscape created by COVID-19. It brings me great joy to play a role in helping prepare the next generation of lawyers," stated Laura M. Miller.

The summer associates will assist with all aspects of the firm's practice in key areas such as Public law, Environmental law, Intellectual Property, Labor & Employment law, Creditors' Rights, Business law and Real Estate. They will also assist with the development of CLE programs and legal updates pertaining to COVID-19 and attend virtual meetings alongside the firm's experienced practice leaders.
