So far people have been trying to get me to do shit like read thru deps and summarize and just diligence/flag shit in Ks. I don't want to get a bad rep, which I am afraid will happen if I keep turning stuff down. How do you get meaningful assignments?

There really aren't any, tbh. To get more meaningful exposure try to stay on the same few cases / deals so that you're not just doing 20 unrelated little bits of make-work.

Do you have an idea of what group you want to join? Just hang out with them and invite them to coffee or lunch. They'll hook you up with work.

I definitely want to do corp, and am kind of split between cap markets and m&a. The m&a guys seem to be a bit better pedigreed school-wise here so I think I might fit in better with them, but was hoping to try out both. I'll take your suggestion under advisement, thanks.

Fuck, they're still having you do paralegal work? That's worrying OP. Did you do something wrong? How's the feedback been so far? If you continue getting this type of work I'd sit down with the partners you're working with and ask them for more substantive work. There's no way the other summers are still working on this law 101 crap.

You already started?

I was in a meeting with a bunch of senior associates and partners and someone said "if you're busy, summers start soon, so that should help some" and everyone laughed hysterically.

If I owned a firm I'd never hire a fucking summer associate. First years are worthless too. I'd rather have a bunch of magma Hofstra grads that clerked for a year or two at the common court of claims.

Do the minimal amount of work and avoid assignments. Seriously, fuck them for wasting their money on useless summers.
