It's summer associate season, time to hear about extravagant parties and wooing of top law school talent by star-hungry firms. Blogger Deb Weiss alerted us that some lucky associates will rake in $3,000 a week.
And the firms are pulling out the stops to make the summer recruiting experience memorable. Our favorite is Weil, Gotshal & Manges, which is renting out an entire Nintendo store in New York for a summer associate Wii competition.
This made us wonder what other firms are offering their summers. Tell us: What are some of the more creative summer associate/recruiting programs you've seen lately? Or tell us what sold you on your firm.

Our favorite answer from last week:
Posted by "J. Cornehls": " 'Rumpole' was far and away the most realistic and hence best TV law show. No. 2 in my opinion was the Practice. The worst aspect of all TV law shows is when the lawyers testify instead of asking questions. For great commentary on contemporary social and political issues, Boston Legal, and James Spader in particular are tops."
