Oh goody I like the mean devilish judge icon best.

I go to Texas and I like Leiter's enthusiasm for his blogging, but let's be honest -- the guy will find a way to rank anything so that UT is in the top 12.

Where have all the commentators gone?

i hate any profession that tries to sell me stuff.

Big-Tex can be sketchy with no-offers, that is true. But if you are at a national firm's Dallas office, you may be better off because there will be some non-local work. But I have heard that Weil Dallas had its first-year corporate associates doing doc review for a while. But from what I've heard, most firms seem to have kept the same size summer classes as in years past. That should be a good sign.

Yes -- the number of first-half acceptances is like 60% and second-half is around 30%, from what I've heard. This year, though, most firms are going to first-half only. There are some Texas firms that no-offered extremely qualified summers, leading some of us to believe it was a) because the summer had a much better option already or b) because a partner had veto-power over them based on personality conflicts. Those are our guesses, here in TX at least.

OMG 7:17-7:20 is the most hilarious thing I have seen on this site...ever. good job.

Lat what is up with your Jordin Sparks obsession? Seriously. How old are you.

i love that secretaries and paralegals read this blog. it makes for much more vibrant commenting.

I don't understand what the lawyer meant when he said "That's why I wore a suit." As in, they didn't teach me much at Loyola law school so to make up for that I'm wearing a suit? Am I missing a joke or what?

OMG Bryan Garner reads ATL! Swoon.
