Luce Forward: Rescinds 3L Offers, Cancels 2009 Summer Program

On Monday, Luce Forward laid off 27 people. Today, we are learning that those are not the only cuts the San Diego firm is making.

Luce Forward has decided to rescind offers to all the 3Ls from their 2008 summer program, and cancel the 2009 summer program entirely. The firm confirmed this information with us earlier today.

The firm had already delayed the start of of 2008 summers to January 2010, but it doesn’t appear that any of them expected Luce would fire all of their incoming first year associates.

I’m not sure how 3Ls will go about finding a post-graduate job at this late stage in this economy. But hopefully things will get better by the time these new lawyers are receiving their diploma.

Good luck out there.
