The Summer Associate Program


Costello, Cooney & Fearon, PLLC, a preeminent Upstate New York firm, has a long-standing Summer Associate Program.

Summer Associates will have the opportunity to regularly attend client meetings, trials, depositions, municipal meetings and adjudicatory proceedings, in addition to performing legal drafting, research and writing.

Encouraging a tight-knit culture of support and camaraderie is important to the Firm and so the Summer Associate Program also offers a wide range of networking opportunities. Such opportunities have included baseball games, wine tours, happy hours and coffee hours, golf outings and summer picnics. This allows for Summer Associates to get to know partners, peers and other members the Syracuse legal community in a less formal environment.
