To try to get a feel for the market, 2Ls should feel free to post their summer firm name, class size, and max number of weeks they can work.

Any otherhelpful info would be appreciated as well.

I will hire at deferred MB first year to be my personal assistant as a 3L. My only hiring requirements are a scratchy beard and soft hands.

Latham is a joke at this point. Who in their right mind would choose to go there at all? Maybe if Orrick was the only other option, but even that's pretty close. All the Vault prestige in the world doesn't mean anything to students when a firm FIRES OVER HALF OF THEIR FIRST YEARS in a given office. The BS an associate there spun at OCI about how much partners care is hilarious in hindsight. There has been a return to the old law firm order. The blue chip NYC firms finally have differentiation again. Bye bye Latham. Bye bye .
