You'll find that you're never alone at Wildman Harrold (because, quite frankly, we're afraid you'll steal stuff). We know it's not always easy to juggle your assignments, attend the training and social events, get to know your co-workers, and still have a life. The summer experience can be both rewarding and somewhat overwhelming. Although we think we are all approachable, we have picked a few people you can always turn to with questions or if you need help with any issue over the summer.

Big Siblings

In addition to the co-chairs of the summer program and our lovable hiring partner, John Frey, who are always available to help, you will be assigned two "big siblings." (We abandoned our "distant second cousin" program.) These big siblings will be responsible for teasing you mercilessly and holding you down to give you noogies once a week. They will also help you get to know people at the firm and navigate your way through the summer by taking you to lunch, helping you with fashion decisions, and generally being your personal resource for all things related to your summer experience.

Writing Coach

You will also be assigned a writing coach. This coach, a partner at the firm, will stand behind you dressed in a warm up suit yelling motivational phrases such as, "Type like the wind, Wise One" and will spot you while you type difficult, challenging and even dangerous phrases. If this approach does not help your writing - and it may not - your writing coach will review and comment on all or some of your assignments after you finish a first draft. (We strongly encourage and recommend, but do not require, that you have your coach review at least your first few assignments.)

Beyond the chairs of the summer program, the hiring partner, your "big siblings," and your writing coach, you are pretty much on your own, unless you count the rest of your summer class and the hundreds of other people who work here. Be advised that we have cancelled the personal valet service that was so popular last year due to a dispute with the valet union.
