Brackett & Ellis, P.C.'s primary source of new associates is its summer associate program. This program is designed to offer a broad view of all aspects of the firm's practice while providing opportunities to work with a majority of the firm's members. Each summer associate is assigned a shareholder and associate mentor, who work together to coordinate assignments, provide guidance, and insure that each summer associate has a positive professional experience. In addition to research and drafting assignments, every effort is made to involve summer associates in trials, depositions, hearings, closings and client conferences.
