Many of Marcus Peterson’s fellow Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, alumni are still idle after graduating in 2009, waiting to start law firm jobs thanks to long deferments. Not Peterson. He spent ten months in Howrey’s Los Angeles office, bouncing among firm-sponsored classes, pro bono cases, regular billable work, and shadowing partners. It’s not what he expected as a first-year associate. “I’ve had some good substantive experiences. I’m preparing to argue in front of an administrative law judge this month,” he says.
Peterson is among 24 first-year associates to participate in Howrey’s First Tier program — a two-year apprenticeship meant to make new associates more valuable to clients by giving them real-world skills and a better understanding of how to practice law.
