“The 3 most appealing law companies to land a summertime affiliate position with are Latham & Watkins Kirkland & Ellis and Skadden, Arps Slate, Meagher & Flom, according to a white paper printed Monday by Law360 Pulse.”
Seriously?
This in the ABA Journal this morning in a piece by Stephanie Francis Ward.
The ABA Journal’s story was dependent on a piece in Law360 reviewing a ”Summer months Associates Survey: On-Campus Interviews, Most Ideal Companies and Virtual Software Difficulties.”
Nothing against these companies, but they’re not the 3 most appealing law companies to land a summertime affiliate position with – even if the one,two hundred surveyed pupils reported so.
I labored a summertime affiliate career with the Legislation Offices of John Dutton in the tiny metropolis of Auburn, 40 miles up in the Sierra Nevada foothills, East of Sacramento.
One particular person shop exactly where I received a minimal little bit of every little thing, depending on the day. Probably conversing life and the law, above steak and pink wine, with a gentleman I later uncovered out to have been a deputy district lawyer, choose and law professor.
Another person that folks in the region referred to as really tenacious. Who knows, it’s possible exactly where I received some of it from.
I certain hope law pupils are looking around to choose up a real slice of life and the law when a summertime affiliate.
For some it might be the company substantial rises. But for quite a few I assume it’s looking around at the Solitary-A to Triple-A baseball cities for a piece of law in The usa. Probably even legal expert services and professional-bono results in, if you can get into them.
Three superior massive law companies the most appealing places to perform this summertime for law pupils? I’m not observing it.
