A survival guide of sorts for this years Summer Associates (some Skadden lore of sorts).
10. Don't pick up your date for the Rockefeller Center event on the subway.
9. Don't have sex on your officemate's desk and forget to lock the door.
8. When Mr. Flom is speaking at a summer associate lunch, don't come in late, sit at one of the front tables and then leave before he's finished his talk.
7. Don't take a car home from Scores and bill it to the firm.
6. Don't out your friend via a reply-to-all e-mail mistake to the entire office. (see also # 1 below)
5. Don't smack the ass of another summer associate and then turn to your pals and say "I'm gonna hit that before August" while a woman partner is sitting within earshot.
4. Women, when in the gym, don't pull a Brandi Chastain and wear just your sports bra while running on the treadmill. (If you do, you'll be asked to change and be the talk of the office).
3. Men, when in the gym, no one cares about the biceps you were able to build while working out in the frat house. (In other words, don't wear sleeveless shirts -- you'll be asked to change).
2. Don't choke a partner at the 3-on-3 basketball tournament.
1. Don't pull a Jonas -- be careful who you e-mail.

Yay from a Skadden Summer Associate! Yay!!!
Always remember not to get drunk, strip, and jump in the Hudson too.
think twice about asking aout an associate via email...
Don't grab anyone's ass, ever. I am currently plotting to ruin the professional life of the person who recently did this to me.
As to #2, it was an associate, not a partner.
