I truly don’t understand why people didn’t like Colewoman... that was probably the most straightforward law school class I hadAnonymous User wrote:I agree in class, but I got a higher grade from Colewoman than Coleman.Anonymous User wrote:I had both.

ETA: I thought Colewoman did a better job at keeping class lively, if terrifying, than Coleman.

If you have a 3.18 you probably tanked in other classes too. What’s the point of blaming professors.

This whole argument started because one of our classmates wanted to share how happy he/she/xey were to receive his/her/xeir American citizenship and Wachtell offer on the same dayAnonymous User wrote:while this Coleman vs. Coleman convo is very interesting, the rest of us would like to stick to talking about CBs, offers, and dings. thank you!

Re: Duke OCI 2018
The arguments in this thread are to me uncharacteristic of the Duke experience. But maybe I’m naive and don’t know enough people. Anonymity brings out the worst in people who either need to vent or are malicious behind closed doors. I don’t think any law school is going to be particularly better or worse than the other in this regard. People are people.
To stay on topic: have had DC callbacks with lower-ranked but still great firms and have not yet heard anything. I suspect Friday or maybe a few weeks even.

OP update: Parker Poe and Robinson Bradshaw callback. Brooks Pierce handed out offers to previous summers so that may mean movement from them soon too.Anonymous User wrote:Offer for Winston & Strawn CLT.
Callbacks for Smith Anderson, McGuireWoods, Alston & Bird CLT, Womble.
Ding from Moore & Van Allen.
Silence from Parker Poe, Brooks Pierce, and Robinson Bradshaw.
Also haven’t heard anything from Smith, Moore, Leatherwood but cannot bring myself to be concerned about that at this point. Lol

Re: Duke OCI 2018
First anon here. Anonymity brings out the worst in us, and OCI can be stressful. I get it. But I don't necessarily agree that others are similar. The level of arrogance (and the fact that people responds to hostility with hostility) in this thread is peerless. I wouldn't be surprised if they turned out to be a small group of people, but alarming still. Anyway good luck with OCI folks. I'll stop being a nuisance.Anonymous User wrote:The arguments in this thread are to me uncharacteristic of the Duke experience. But maybe I’m naive and don’t know enough people.

A word of advice from an experienced professional: do NOT put incoming associate position on linkedin. It is the single most stupid and styleless thing you can do with your linkedin profile.

An incoming position on linkedin is not gonna bring you any networking opportunities or headhunters attention. It only implies that you lack etiquette.Anonymous User wrote:Ya, unless you're going to some elite firm like Latham (DC), NOBODY CARES!Anonymous User wrote:What's wrong with that?

Read the posts on Wall Street Oasis about “incoming investment banking summer analyst” and you will get a pretty good sense of what your future clients think of your incoming position on linkedin.

+1 for the WallStreetOasis reference. Although swear to god, half of our summer analysts did it anyway, we'd always make fun of 'em the first day.
