Any sure thing easy A's I should be looking at to finish off 3LOLing without totally tanking the GPA? Slight reverse to this, but DON'T just take seminars heedlessly. Talk to people who have taken those specific ones before, cause some professors get way too intense about them. That said, find some...

Definitely look for opportunities for smaller matters where you are the sole attorney. It is terrifying, but gives you a heck of a lot more immediate, on the ground experience as a first or second year attorney. As UVA said, talk to your pro bono coordinator. Also talk to those a year or two above y...

OP here. How many of you had work over Thanksgiving, and how much? I barely have any and I'm concerned if I'm just not working hard enough? Not a stub year, and billed exactly zero hours from Thursday-Sunday. Don't overthink things like that too much. Just because some people get absolutely crushed...

Delaware/Wilmington The Market : While there are certainly legal jobs to be had everywhere in the State of Delaware, by far the biggest and most prominent market is Wilmington. While sometimes lumped in with the Philadelphia legal market, it really is its own entity, and takes a ton of pride in tha...

I remember TTL being a nice safe haven for tax LLMs. Good ol' days.

wilkie was troll on TLS?

Willkie was posted here 5 minutes earlier. The person saying "Screen shot or it didn't happen" was the one being called troll. I think.

Watch the 200k raise come from some dark horse firm like Skadden or Cleary. I mean 190k came from Milbank.

At this point the deafening silence maybe confirms this?!

Poster is giving you a hard time saying you work at Venable, and not to hold your breath, because your non-elite firm isn't gonna match. I'm just clarifying what's happening here, so don't get mad at me. Thank you, that helps. It also is super silly. So not only are they trying to give me a hard ti...

S&C FTW https://abovethelaw.com/2018/06/sullivan-cromwell-matches-salaries-we-think/ I like how this happens every time there is a raise, both in this thread, and in the TLS thread. Someone reports it anonymously, people talk about it for a post or two, then an hour later when ATL finally reports o...

I feel like if you're at a v50 (or most of the others that went to 180) unless it's notoriously stingy or you're in a secondary market it's a done deal? Why y'all tripping

Because it's not a done deal until we get our money.

WHY NO MATCHES YET

There won't be any matches. This is it. This is the way the world ends.

Its from something, but I cannot remember what

Here is to a happy week for everyone!

ARE YOU TROLLING BEAR?? I don’t troll. He said they were still in process. Could get scuttled. Smokey has given me no reason to doubt him, and yet I doubt. I now know how the disciples felt. Me IRL https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/Serodine_Doubting_Thomas.jpg Ded.

In the distance, I can hear the chant of the slightly not overpaid enough attorneys gathering their pitchforks and torches.

The trolling over there is hitting stupidity levels not yet seen.

Childish arguments go on for a while?

No idea if it is in the wake of the "NY to XXX" insanity, but TLS added a "Legal News/Law Firm Gossip" forum. Lol.

I think they're going to match but have a feeling ATL's source was TLS. I'll believe it when I see a memo.

TLS didn't mention the town hall aspect though. And they definitely had an associate town hall shortly ago.

The weirdest thing about biglaw is that the mega millionare partners don't seem to really go crazy. I'm not sure if they are ratholing the money or if they just have spendthrift wives. One of the equity partners I work with has 3 kids share a bedroom. If it were me I would rathole asap and fall off...
