It’s a wonderful time of year. No more innuendo: NALP forms have been updated, and firms have had to come clean with their statistics on summer hiring.
Look up your firm here.
Let’s crowdsource this baby. You look at your firm and tell us in the comments if somebody surprisingly massacred their summer class, and we’ll follow up next week.

Kash worked as a paralegal at Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C. And Covington also enjoyed a successful summer. Of 62 summers in D.C., 61 received offers.

Let us know which firms had a rough summer.
