Can I Get BigLaw if 2L OCI Doesn't Work Out?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 3rd, 2009 12:10 PM Author: Insane whorehouse boltzmann If someone gets zero offers and does some other shit for 2L summer, like RA or intern or something, is BigLaw still an option eventually?
Or is 2L SA a must? |

just not getting an offer=not credited reason. 3L hiring does go on, its just REALLY tough. at lower T14 it was tough EVEN if you already had a position at another firm from 2l summer. |

Date: July 3rd, 2009 11:32 PM Author: Curious territorial hospital you will NOT be doing Biglaw anytime in the next 5 years.
but in a weird way, I actually think ITE will help u get biglaw eventually.
normally if u do not get biglaw 2L summer u r pretty much shut out since firms want biglaw experience. but 5 years from now firms might be sympathetic to people who got pwn3d ITE, or they may have a new model entirely. Also, less people are getting biglaw now, so when the economy picks up the big firms won't be able to fills their rosters with people with biglaw experience, they will have to look outside those groups for people.
that's just my opinion anyways. |

If they need experience then they'll just get laterals, but I DOUBT they will go scouring Monster.com for any available attorney. |
