What Our Former Summer Associates Are Saying:
“What I enjoyed most was the ability to do real work. Actually getting to participate in preparing for trials, participate in preparing for depositions, and at my luckiest getting to prepare for a motion before the court.” – CJ/UC College of the Law SF
“My experience at Walkup was amazing. I got to see so many different parts of a case. I had a Birdseye view of the litigation lifecycle. It was a great summer and I really feel like I was given intentional assignments to help me learn about what it’s like to be a plaintiff’s lawyer.” – SL/UC Berkeley School of Law
“My experience here was very enriching and eventful. I had an opportunity to dive into certain areas of the law that I had only read cases about and only learned in the classroom.” –MK/UC College of the Law SF
“The attorneys here are spectacular, not only because of their immense skill, knowledge, and background, but also the kindness, humility, and humble attitude they show to their clients.” —K.A., Santa Clara University
