My impression is that Covington is the only one that does this on any consistent basis.

i was going to post a categorical no, as this had never happened to me, nor had i ever heard of it happening. so this is interesting information. i'd suggest, though, it probably isn't a wide practice, and is probably more likely at an extremely selective firm like covington. i'd imagine the 1L firm was a pretty good one, too, if there was 30 minutes of conversation in what a 1L summer associate had done.
