Work during 3L at Quinn?

Anon because I'm providing details about where I'll work.
I'm a 2L and I'll be working at Quinn LA this summer. I'm figuring out how much I want to commit myself to next year as far as my journal and I remember hearing that 3Ls can sometimes work part time at their firms. I'd rather take a backseat role on my not-very-prestigious journal and make some money than spend all my time on a board position.
Anyone have insight into whether working part-time is common or at least possible?

Plenty of people work part-time while in law school.

My understanding was the work during 3L thing was just last year because firms desperately needed bodies. Unsure though.

Firms have definitely let 3Ls work during the school year before, at various points in the last 10 years (not just last year), though I'm sure it is related to how much they need people and I have no idea what Quinn's policy is.

I work at QE and as far as I’m aware we don’t hire 3Ls to work for us during the school year. It may have been a practice sometime in the past but it’s not now.
