Harvard, Recruiters Advise Law Students to Cast a Wider Net

In the wake of mass deferrals at law firms, Harvard Law School is advising first- and second-year law students to widen their search for summer associate positions. Considering law firms outside major metropolitan areas might be a smart way to stay in the game, according to the school. Meanwhile, the global practice group leader of Major, Lindsey and Africa's associate group recommends that law students look for job opportunities in international offices for the summer.
