I’m a 1L summer student at a medium sized law firm. Yesterday one of the lawyers asked me if I was coming back next year. I’m at about the halfway point of my summer contract and would be interested in returning next year. When do firms usually talk to students about rehiring (or not)? I know my firm has rehired students regularly, I’m just wondering what firms generally do when the time comes. I don’t know if this is related, but the head of my department said he wanted to meet with me this week to review a few work assignments.
