Fall Recruiting Open Thread: Los Angeles

To celebrate fall recruiting season, we’re doing a series of open threads, to allow people to compare notes about law firms in different cities. Think of them as chat rooms for legal scuttlebutt. (Some of the comment threads get really long, but if you’re looking for information on a particular firm or issue, just run a search on the page.)*
Here are the earlier posts in the series (which we encourage you to revisit, even after they get bumped from the ATL front page):

1. CHICAGO

2. BOSTON

3. SAN FRANCISCO / SILICON VALLEY

4. NEW YORK

This post, which some of you have been eagerly anticipating, is about LOS ANGELES. Please discuss the legal market in the City of Angels in the comments. Thanks.
* Yes, we’re probably going to reintroduce the discussion forums that once existed on this site (but were never used). That may take a little while, though, so these open threads will have to do for now.
Earlier: Fall recruiting open threads for Boston, Chicago, San Francisco / Silicon Valley, and New York.
