For John Turlais, being involved with Foley's summer program influenced his decision to join the firm
Foley’s summer program provided exactly the type of experience that I had hoped for as a summer associate. The electronic project book allowed me to select interesting and challenging assignments from various legal departments and gave me the opportunity to work with a wide range of attorneys and clients.
And, between FoleyFest, group outings, the softball team, and other planned (and unplanned) events, there certainly was no shortage of opportunities for me to get to know better the other summer associates, the attorneys, and the city.
