Lawyers Apparently Perform This Weird Ritual During Cravath Partner Funerals
Do lawyers at your firm perform any strange death rituals during funerals?
The partner is dead, the firm lives.
— A chant that is traditionally recited during the “Cravath Walk,” a procession of past and present partners at a deceased Cravath partner’s funeral.
[UPDATE (4/16/2018, 2:55 p.m.): A longtime former partner denies this: “The Cravath partners do NOT chant anything at a partner’s funeral or memorial service. They walk in and sit as a group only as a sign of respect to their departed colleague.”]
