Associate Hiring
The bulk of the first-year associate class is recent graduates of the nation's top law schools who were hired as summer associates for the summer between their second and third years of law school. In 2010, Kirkland's office in Chicago made an offer of permanent employment to each of its 32 summer associates. Summer associates (mostly second-year law students) are paid the same base rate as first-year associates, or roughly $3,100/week before taxes. Incoming associates are given a $10,000 stipend.

Famous quotes containing the words associate and/or hiring:
“We’re headed for collapse, if you want my opinion, Missy. I can see it in the fallin’ off of the quality of vagrants. There was a time you could find real good company in almost any jungle you’d pick, men who could talk, men who’d read a book now and then; and now, what do you find, a lot of dirty little guttersnipes no decent tramp would want to associate with.
Well, it’s been that way all through history.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“When someone borrows an animal from another and it is injured or dies, the owner not being present, full restitution shall be made. If the owner was present, there shall be no restitution; if it was hired, only the hiring fee is due.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 22:14,15.
