Is it possible to get fired your 2L summer?

Yes, as a matter of fact it is. From Above the Law: Their Summer Associate of the Day was fired from Katten in Chicago because:
(a) he allegedly engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with female summer associates, variously described as "repeatedly smack[ing] the asses of female summers" or "playing grab ass with female summers," and (b) he allegedly made racially insensitive jokes, in front of multiple attorneys.

In dude's defense, the JP is aware of many female summer associates actively seeking a game of grabass. Maybe he thought this was one of those "no means yes" situations? The comments on ATL really don't portray dude in a good light though:
Truths:
-SA - white kid at a top 10 law school.
-VERY stupid comments made, which he doesn't understand would be taken the way they were. Racial comments (real ones, in the N-word level) and unwanted physical contact.

I wonder if he combined the two by grabbing a girl's ass while hurling racial epitaphs at her. JP thinks you should stick to one or the other, at least until they hire you.

Think of all the UW students who interviewed for the position that this douchebag got! But, hey, if it says __________ (insert name of top-ten law school here) then he MUST be smart and a good worker and worth $2700 a week, right? Right? Is this thing on?
