I think you can make a case that this is one tier, or two tiers with the last three on their own. I would say Jones Day, KMZ, SNR, DLA Piper, and Baker are substantially below - meaning that at least one of the first eight firms is entirely preferable to one of these four (save maybe DLA Piper for RE, but I'd go to Mayer and have solid RE and national/overall reputation/compensation benefits). I doubt my opinion is universal, though.

They sent out a list of associates working at all the offices in a PDF file before 1L's were hired (I believe). I'm assuming you want Chicago info so here it is...
They probably gave summer offers to the entire Michigan class to get those four. Kind of a shrewd move on the part of those students...they're probably the safest summers in the country.

An interesting read. Too bad we didn't learn more about the quality of these students. Are they just average law students? Or were they subpar? or do something dumb?
