Can attorneys still apply to be a summer associate?

Anyone know if someone who graduated law school, and passed the bar will still be considered for summer programs with firms?

Honestly, I just want to volunteer my time for free at a firm that I like then work for one I won't.

This does sound like another one of those "We're just now realizing how old we are but it doesn't matter because between Owen's crooked nose and Vince's sleazy ways we can do anything" type movies those two love to do. D-Bags.

What's the delay for? Why not just go straight to the firm you won't like?

Exactly. Go to the firm you don't like, kill it for 2 years, network with people at the firm you like, and lateral to that firm.
