Day Pitney to Revamp Summer Associate Program

Day Pitney, which in May laid off 20 lawyers and deferred incoming associates to January 2010, has announced it is revamping its Summer associate program for 2010.

The new eight-week program will focus on apprenticeships and practical experience, shadowing lawyers and getting one-on-one coaching. The program will also include workshops and community service activities.

The new program will be introduced at the firm’s headquarters offices in Hartford, Connecticut and Florham Park, New Jersey.

Compensation information has not been released.

Day Pitney employs 382 attorneys spread across nine offices in four states and the District of Columbia. In 2007, Day Pitney ranked 113th on the National Law Journal’s list of the 250 largest American law firms.
