Stupid question. I'm a 3L. I summered at a small firm this past summer. I went through 3L oci and accepted a mid law offer. The hiring firm needs to do a conflict check, so I need to provide them with all of the parties involved with matters that I worked on this summer. Do I call the firm administrator at my summer firm to help me get this information together?

I remember, but there were two cases in particular that had a lot of parties on both sides, and I want to make sure that I get the right names for all of them. I think I have them, but I don't know for sure.

If the firm is big enough, just call the switchboard and ask to speak with the conflicts administrator and they should be able to generate a matter list based on your timekeeping. If not, office administrator who can back-end the same thing. I would also, for future reference, do this before you leave any law job in the future. Conflict checks are ubiquitous and you will need this info for many more jobs to come, sometimes going 5 years back.
