The Law Offices of Frederick K. Brewington Welcomes the Summer Associates Class of 2019
Each year for the past 24 years, The Law Offices of Frederick K. Brewington has hired law students as part of its Summer Associate Program. This program was instituted by Mr. Brewington and his wife, the Rev. Adrienne Brewington, to provide opportunities for law students who had an interest in the area of Civil Rights and to encourage and foster students who have a desire to explore and experience what it is like to work in a fast-paced, small law firm that is involved in high-profile Civil Rights work and Litigation. The positions are highly competitive and normally start the first week of June and continue into the early part of August.
As students, the Summer Associates are asked to assist in drafting and responding to discovery requests and assist in file review and preparation for trial. Their experience includes New York State law and federal law. Students are required to have a dedication to their academic pursuits, as well as a solid understanding of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Evidence. Under the supervision of lawyers, the Summer Associates have client contact, firsthand experience in Court proceedings and engage in a number of research and writing projects.
This year, The Law Offices of Frederick K. Brewington has selected four outstanding law students who are up-and-coming attorneys in training as Summer Associates. It is our pleasure to introduce you to Farris Lee Dugan-Francis, Leah Jackson, Dawn Page, and summer intern Gulfam H. Dhillon. We encourage you to read their bios, which are part of this article. Each of them comes to us with a wonderful and interesting background. They each have an interest and are committed to Civil Rights work and seek to use their law degrees to follow the tradition of Civil Rights lawyers in being civil engineers for the public good.
