firm communication between acceptance and start of SA
Trying to figure out if I am being paranoid (probably yes) - I accepted an offer for a 2L biglaw SA and the firm acknowledged my acceptance all in writing. This was in early fall and since then I haven't heard anything. Is this normal? If so when should I expect to hear again from the firm regarding this summer.

When they contact, probably with more detail about dates and pay and stuff. I wouldn't stress.

I accepted an offer in August to begin the following May, and didn't hear anything until April.Anonymous User wrote:Trying to figure out if I am being paranoid (probably yes) - I accepted an offer for a 2L biglaw SA and the firm acknowledged my acceptance all in writing.

Don't worry - I accepted my offer in early August and I only got something from the firm yesterday, which was an email saying "be on the lookout for info in April."

Yep, pretty normal to only hear a little more in late Spring. If you need to check re a wedding or something concrete, feel free to reach out to Recruiting to say hi and send a breezy email re your commitment to XYZ event, and you wanted to make sure it was OK to fly on a Friday or whatnot. GL!

Re: firm communication between acceptance and start of SA
Most of my classmates haven't heard anything since accepting offers. I've been sent background check documents and the holiday gift, but most people I know haven't gotten anything. If they sent an offer in writing and you accepted then I don't think there is anything to worry about. I didn't hear anything for months before they sent forms for background checks etc.
