Summer programme
Cooley’s two-week programmes involve a combination of hands-on work on active matters, shadowing other trainees, dynamic skills sessions, talks, trips and social events. With the goal of involving programme participants in client work to the greatest extent possible, students may find themselves attending meetings, taking part in conference calls, going to hearings, assisting on deals, conducting research or taking part in project work. Our aim is to plan a programme from which you will learn and have the opportunity to demonstrate your potential, while simultaneously gaining as much insight as possible into the firm, our people and the work we do.
“Cooley’s summer programme gets the balance just right. You come away having gained more than just an insight into the firm. The business development, negotiation and advo- cacy sessions leave you with valu- able skills beyond that of a normal vacation scheme. The scheme’s focus remains, importantly, on ‘real life’ tasks. You are actively encouraged to pursue areas of law in which you are interested or less familiar. It is not all work. There is ample opportunity to socialise too.”
“Cooley’s summer programme was well-run and highly engag- ing – involving a mix of set tasks and ‘real-life’ work, with real emphasis placed on the latter. It was clear from the beginning that everyone wanted to involve us as completely as possible in the day-to-day life of the firm. From negotiation roleplays to drafting client letters and research memos, this entailed a steep (but excit- ing!) learning curve.” Morgan McCormack 2018 Summer Programme – starts training in August 2020
