Ballard Spahr Axes 2010 Summer Associate Program

When Morgan Lewis & Bockius cut its 2010 summer program so as to avoid a deferral-related bottleneck of incoming associates in 2011, the question became: Which law firm would be the next to cut its program? The answer: Ballard Spahr. In a message obtained by the legal blog Above the Law, the University of Pennsylvania Law School has informed its students that Ballard Spahr has pulled out of on-campus interviewing this year because it won't have a 2010 summer associate program.
