Didn't we go through all of these things already in the prior thread?? Moving desks/floors, talking with HR, telework arrangement, etc.

Agree with the above. Do you know whether you'd have a job waiting for you when you got back? (Would you want to go back?) It might be nice to have a really easy job for a year, hopefully get a good mentor, and get a resume boost at the same time. That said, my gut reaction was that it seems like yo...

I don't have specific info on Cooley, but you should always be prepared for behavioral questions anyway. Tell me about a time when you worked with a team; made a mistake; took the initiative. Etc. Good list of Q's here: https://www.thebalancecareers.com/behav ... ns-2059620

at OCI firms will give ding emails

...but it might take a while. There are some firms that are horrendously slow at post-screener dings. (Reed Smith comes to mind.)

I heard that this year all 1800 people were in one massive room. Also, on day 1 AM, the clocks did not sync up so they called out the remaining time every 30 min. And that things were generally slow and not on time, but day 2 was better (like Hand said).

I've never used it, but I can't see it being too terribly useful for law school. At a glance, the software seems more geared toward actual academics / science and the like. If there's some law-specific functionality, that'd be interesting to know. But I doubt that it's going to pump out Bluebook cit...

Tomorrow is the day! Good luck all!

(I forgot I made this thread)

It takes them forever to update the website/do anything. I wouldn't read anything into it.

yes

The only two things you mentioned that are probably "negotiable" are (1) start date and (2) working during the year. (1) I've only ever heard of someone moving their start date to be *earlier* than the planned start date for most first years (which, like Dog said, is planned around the big onboardin...

You can always do a COA clerkship later if, after the district clerkship and possibly some firm experience, you decide you want to pursue litigation.

Is Latham at the top of the shame pile at this point? I can't think of a more glaring non-matcher at this point in the game...

Seems like it, plus the DC firms if you give a shit about them.

HoLove or just Hogan IME

this is big, or seems big, I don't know anymore

Would it be OK if I accepted a callback from a 2L SA but then asked the law firm to defer my offer one year in order for me to do a clerkship? Or should I, assuming that I get a clerkship, wait until I complete my clerkship before applying to a firm? Not sure why in a callback you would ask a firm ...

Whoaaaa.

I didn't think that WSGR was different than any other lockstep firm. So yes, I presume that you gain a class year each year. Are you asking because in the match email (https://abovethelaw.com/2018/06/west-coast-represents-in-the-salary-wars/2/) there are 2 columns, class year and comp year? I haven'...
