"My summers as a law clerk at Kinney & Lange had the perfect mixture of both work and fun. It was a good balance between getting exposed to intellectual property law and at the same time providing a casual setting for meeting everyone at the firm." - Mike Harms
 
"My first experience with the people of Kinney & Lange was at a Twins baseball game. The game was in early May, and I used it as an opportunity to get to meet everyone before the Summer Associate Program began. I was extremely impressed on how everyone went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. That type of helpfulness continued throughout the Summer Program. At all times I felt that I was a part of something, and I valued it."—Dustin Dufault
 
"The two things from my summer associate experience that made my decision to stay with Kinney & Lange easy were the people and the work. Starting out in intellectual property law requires you to ask may questions about your assignments. Everyone at Kinney & Lange was helpful and courteous in answering questions. To this day, everyone is still helpful and courteous. This makes for a great atmosphere for learning and working. The other factor that made my decision easy was the work. I was given assignments that others in my law school class may be given in two to three years. The work was not the typical research assignment that most summer associates are asked to perform."—Pete Ims
 
"As a summer associate, I was surprised to learn that I was working on the same types of projects as second and third year Associates. The Kinney Academy summer training program employed a discussion atmosphere to introduce us to the nuts and bolts of practicing intellectual property law, and our daily work experience reinforced what we were learning. It was a terrific broad-based introduction to the practice of intellectual property law, and as a first year associate, I plan to sit in on some of the sessions again next summer."—Michael Reed
 

 
"The summer associate program at Kinney & Lange was a wonderful experience for me. I was giving a lot of responsibility from the very beginning, and I had the opportunity to work on real cases and meet with real clients. The attorneys at the firm not only treated me as their equal, but also as their friend. This attitude was carried over to the firm's social events as well. Not only did most of the attorneys participate in the activities, but so did the secretaries, paralegals, and support staff. From the weekly happy hours to the annual golf tournament and softball league, it seemed like all members of the firm were represented. I even hosted a barbecue at my house and the president of the firm showed up!"—Mark Han
