Any firms still looking for Summer Associates?

Post by 2L2B » Fri Oct 12, 2018 3:45 pm

I got started kinda late on this process and am looking for firms that may still be looking to hire SAs. Any leads would be appreciated.

In the same boat and still looking. Have you mass-mailed? If so, any luck at all?

As far as I know you're (we're) pretty much smoked at this point. NALP firms are pretty much done.

Life sucks. This shit is miserable.

At this point, it's less about targeted applications and more about carpet bombing every firm out there. Don't waste time/energy figuring out which firms are looking - this information may be difficult to obtain. Just send in your resume and transcript to every firm out there, and if any is still interested, you'll be considered.

I don't want to give anyone false hope, but IMO even pursuing a tiny hope is better than sitting back and just giving up.

Hey all, I wanted to post an update that will hopefully be uplifting - you might not be smoked! I just accepted an offer. Not the most incredibly prestigious firm in the world, but V80, NYC, pays market, and highly ranked in the practice group I'm joining. GOOD LUCK! I hope you all get something great.

Thanks for the update & huge CONGRATS - you made it!! Sounds like a great firm - pays market AND highly ranked in your practice group (which is really what counts).
