Top Law Schools

I'm lucky to have a few options for next summer. However I was hoping that I would be able to split between two firms. Both firms allow splitting and I am at a school on the quarter system (so I have a longgg summer) but both firms require that the summer spend the first half of the summer at their respective firm.

I'm sure this is firm dependent...

Is this a hard/fast rule?

Suggestions?

Ask each whether you can work the second half instead. Then you'll have your answer.
