"The KWM Insight Program gave me valuable insight into what a career at KWM looks like and allowed me to explore the kind of lawyer I want to be.
I really enjoyed learning about the different practice areas and engaging in meaningful conversations with lawyers across the firm.
The Program was especially helpful prior to the clerkship process as it improved my confidence, gave me a taste of KWM's culture and made it an easy decision to start my career here!
