Brokeback Lawfirm: Sullivan & Cromwell Still Welcome at Cardozo

By

A juicy rumor started making the rounds yesterday. The claim was that Cardozo Law School had “uninvited” Sullivan & Cromwell, of Charney v. S&C fame, from participating in on-campus recruiting.
We received a few inquiries about it, so we decided to do some follow-up. We first contacted Kurt Rose, Cardozo’s recruitment program coordinator. He told us that he “cannot comment on that,” but referred to us to Susan Davis, a law school spokesperson.
Rose’s “no comment” got us all excited. Might we have a nice little scoop on our hands?
But when we spoke to Ms. Davis, she denied the rumor emphatically, saying there is “no truth to it at all.” She also mentioned that she received a call about it the other day and was mystified as to the origin of this gossip, since “it’s not true, no way, no how.”
So relax, Cardozo grads. S&C will still show up in person to reject you.
P.S. Cardozo is a fine law school, with many distinguished graduates — including one of our favorite bloggers, immigration lawyer Lavi Soloway. Soloway is being honored at an alumni reception tonight, where he and his law firm partner, Noemi Masliah, will receive the E. Nathaniel Gates Awarrd.
But Cardozo does not have a great record of sending its grads on to Sullivan & Cromwell (hence our quip). According to the S&C website, the firm has only one Cardozo graduate: Jeffrey Kaplan, who works in S&C’s D.C. office. In contrast, Cravath has six Cardozo lawyers: four regular associates, and two “discovery attorneys.” Weil Gotshal has four partners and one counsel who are Cardozo grads (and presumably a number of Cardozo associates; but associate bios didn’t come up in a search for Cardozo on the Weil website).
