Simpson Thacher hosted eight tenth-grade interns from Legal Outreach from July 7-10, 2008. Legal Outreach is a non-profit organization that prepares urban youth from underserved communities to compete at high levels by using intensive legal and educational programs. This year, the students handled a mock trademark and trade dress infringement case that required them to take part in negotiations, conduct depositions, write client memos and have a hearing before a judge.
More than forty summer associates and attorneys served as mentors, team leaders, and witnesses for the depositions and the hearing. The program was organized by associates Alyssa Watzman and Carlos Lopez and paralegals Joana Da Silva and Stephanie Crosskey. Simpson Thacher has participated in the Legal Outreach program since 1997.
