all the offenders of 2009 are likely to reoffend again. their business model/practice group balance/lack of a cohesive partnership predisposes them to that. |

Date: September 1st, 2010 8:18 AM Author: transparent crusty station dragon Covington froze salaries for longer than just about any other firm, and only just recently restored them. I don't think that bodes well for them if things get worse. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411367&forum_id=2#15937649) |
|
Date: September 1st, 2010 8:59 AM Author: Sable alcoholic background story pretty much every firm did layoffs/deferrals/etc. Covington is one of the few that did not. I'd rather work somewhere where there is a salary freeze than the alternatives.
I don't think a safe firm is an untouchable firm. I'm not even sure there is such a firm (besides W&C and Wachtell). |

Date: September 28th, 2010 6:53 PM Author: Sable alcoholic background story academia/clerkships. the more I think about it, the more I think I would have been pretty content just staying put, particularly as my desire to go into academia lessens. for clerkships i'm sure it'll be a plus, but I really find myself going back and forth on the importance of prestige. at some point you have to call it quits and just be happy with life - I think I could have landed a federal clerkship (probably even COA) out of my old school, so I don't know that the move was worth getting a better one. but here I am.

I didn't know Kirkland was considered particularly safe? And what about QUINN REMAINS? |
