I've spoken with several 3Ls and they all confirmed that as bad as it was, there were more offers that had been extended by this point last year.

Date: September 1st, 2010 8:56 PM Author: aphrodisiac keepsake machete That's what I'm thinking. I think firms are giving a few offers early and planning on giving most offers after the 28 day deadline passes on their top picks.

Date: September 1st, 2010 9:37 PM Author: copper fiercely-loyal background story theatre Cravath said they were going to hire around 80, up from 22 last year. Skadden said it would hire 100, up from around 75. Milbank and a few others were going to hire maybe 20 more associates across all offices. All those numbers are probably down at least 30% from boom levels. |

|
Date: September 1st, 2010 9:45 PM Author: copper fiercely-loyal background story theatre Bringing back big classes or paring them back? I don't see how scaling back classes will backfire. If things pick up, firms can just create more 2nd tier attorney or temp positions. Nobody makes partner anymore anyways. |

you're assuming theyll actually get to start if we double dip.im thinking theyll be deferred, offers will be rescinded again,etc. |
|
Date: September 1st, 2010 9:52 PM Author: Charcoal Native Elastic Band I don't even understand why firms even bother having summer classes anymore. It is not as if there are a lack of law schools at top schools that they couldnt just hire third year. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411886&forum_id=2#15943030) |
|
Date: September 1st, 2010 9:34 PM Author: ruby dopamine Yeah. Admittedly, I don't go to a school where many got jobs in the first place, but of those I've spoken to, many have either been no-offered or are still waiting. I only know like two or three people with concrete job offers.
*Edit* OK, I thought you were referring to permanent job offers for 3Ls. |

Date: September 1st, 2010 9:38 PM Author: copper fiercely-loyal background story theatre Wait, most people are still waiting on offers from the summer? What was all that ATL 100% offer rates are back? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411886&forum_id=2#15942915) |
|
Date: September 1st, 2010 9:40 PM Author: ruby dopamine ATL is full of shit dude. You haven't learned this yet? Hell, one of the firms they reported as having 100 percent offer rates actually no-offered 2/3 of the summers in another of its offices (its home office, actually). I know this b/c my buddy was one of the victims.

Date: September 1st, 2010 9:43 PM Author: copper fiercely-loyal background story theatre I was being a little facetious, but I'm surprised people are still waiting in Sept. And you need to out the firm. |
|
Date: September 1st, 2010 9:46 PM Author: ruby dopamine I see--I should have assumed you weren't totally serious there. I don't feel good about outing the firm, because it was a small class and my friend is using one of the partners as a reference.
I'm still waiting, and it is going to drive me nuts.
