?? Welcome back to you and the 8,596 other members?of the?How I Lawyer?Podcast LinkedIn Newsletter!
My grades are in and summer is starting! I am excited to get some time working on academic projects, doing podcast interviews, presenting at law firms about lessons from How I Lawyer , and most of all some family time!
Because many law student listeners are just beginning their internships and summer positions this week, I thought I'd highlight one of the most downloaded past episodes that speaks directly to this audience:
?? Episode #21: How To Succeed as a Legal Intern or Summer Associate
Although it was recorded two years ago, I think it is just as valuable today!
In the episode I speak with my friends Natasha Zech (Director of Attorney Recruiting, Diversity, and Development at Williams & Connolly LLP ), Professor Rachel Gurvich (Clinical Associate Professor of Law at UNC), and Jean Crews (Real Estate Counsel Venable LLP ). More on each of them below.

This week's featured jobs include:
Natasha Zech?who is the Director of Attorney Recruiting, Diversity, and Development at my old law firm, Williams & Connolly LLP here in Washington, D.C. In that role, Natasha wears a number of hats, but most important for today’s episode she is the coordinator of hiring and the summer associate program--which as I can attest as both a former summer associate and firm lawyer are absolutely stellar. Natasha has been at Williams & Connolly for the past eleven years and before that was a litigator at several firms in the D.C. area and was a law clerk on the D.C. Superior Court. She is a graduate of UVA (Go Cavaliers) and the Georgetown University Law Center (Go Hoyas).?
Professor Rachel Gurvich?who is a clinical associate professor of law at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Professor Gurvich teaches legal research and writing and has also served as the co-chair of the Clerkship Committee. She is well known on social media for her work supporting law students not just at UNC but across the country, often under the Twitter hashtag #PracticeTuesday. Before UNC, she clerked on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and practiced for seven years at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr in Boston, where she specialized in patent and appellate litigation and helped coordinate that office’s summer associate program. She is a graduate of UNC (Go Heels) and Harvard Law (Go Crimson).?
Jean Yin Crews?who is a counsel at Venable LLP in Washington, D.C. where she practices real estate law. Jean started at Venable as a summer associate a decade ago and has been practicing there since graduation! Jean also spent two years co-running the office’s summer program and has served on the firm’s hiring committee. She is a graduate of Princeton (Go Tigers) and Penn Law (Go Quakers).
