Sullivan & Cromwell: Great Clerkship Bonus, Crappy Gift Basket

Earlier this week, we wrote about Sullivan & Cromwell’s new $50,000 clerkship bonus. We have confirmed this news with multiple sources, so you can take it to the bank.
This message about the S&C clerkship bonus bump included an amusing digression:

“You may be interested to know that S&C just called its incoming associates who are clerking to inform them of the 50K bonus. Since I accepted my offer from them, I have never once heard a peep from them about salary.”

“But they did send me a Christmas basket. Which turned out to be pretty pathetic, consisting of a soda pop, a tin of caramel corn, a Hershey bar, and a dvd of The Paper Chase.”

“I’m still puzzling over the last one. Maybe they’re trying to insinuate that firm life isn’t much worse than law school?”

So which S&C partner is the Professor Kingsfield of 125 Broad Street?
