Date: September 7th, 2010 3:13 PM Author: Vigorous stubborn senate factory reset button 4 of the 5 "small elite" firms that I can come up with off the top of my head definitely hire summers, and usually more than one.
Susman (no quota) Gibbs & Bruns (at least two, probably more) Keker & Van Nest Beck Redden
Bartlit is one that doesn't, although they do occasionally take 3Ls in the summer before their clerkships.
The whole "waste of time" thought process is ridiculous. You never know unless you try.
