Career Center: Popular, You're Gonna Be Popular

Some people compare Biglaw to high school, but there wasn’t a lot of statistical evidence that proved popularity in high school. Thankfully, the Career Center can provide some hard data on the most popular firms in Biglaw.

In the month and a half since its launch, the Firm Snapshots on the Career Center have been viewed almost 100,000 times. We are constantly updating these snapshots with new information (some good news, some bad news), and in the last week we have updated the profiles for each of the following firms:
Gibson Dunn
Skadden
Venable
Cravath
Pillsbury
Bryan Cave
Shearman
Thanks to all of you who have sent in tips. Feel free to send additional updates to careercenter@abovethelaw.com.
We also encourage you to share information about your firm by signing up and taking our four-question survey.
So now, on to the good stuff — which firms have been most popular recently? We’ve complied the list of the 20 most visited firm snapshots in the month of June.
Check it out, after the jump.


Taking the top spot is Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, with close to 2000 visits this month. Is the DL Pursuits program generating buzz among other associates?
Coming in second is Bingham McCutchen LLP. (How many of those visits were by Morgan Lewis attorneys in Boston?)
Rounding out the top five are Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP (no doubt this is thanks to their recent deferral and layoff news), Jones Day, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP .
