No Offers, Summer Associates

Summer Offer Rate Open Thread: Here Come The No Offers

By  
on

Firms have been making offers this month. The good news came first, leading us to ask at the beginning of the month: Summer Offer Rate Open Thread: Are We Back to 100%?
We’re such optimists here at ATL that we followed that thread with this one: Summer Offer Rate Open Thread: Happy Happy Joy Joy!.
This week, a number of recent summer associates have asked us to take off the rose-colored glasses. On Monday, we reported that Paul Hastings would have a 75% offer rate, leaving a quarter of its summers with no offers.
We’re now getting reports of no offers at other firms. Two examples are after the jump. But tell us what you are hearing in the comments or send it into tips@abovethelaw.com.


From tipsters:

Fish & Richardson and Kirkland are both announcing offers/no-offers today.

Fish & Richardson seems to have ditched most of its summer associate class of 2009. In fact, I was told that nobody in the office (which is a big one) I worked at got an offer.

Aw, say it ain’t so, Winner of the Best Summer Associate Event of 2009.
We reached out to both firms, but neither of them has yet responded. Here’s an open thread for a discussion of no offers.
