60 - so, if I get what you are saying, those that survive this mess in big law will be better situated when compared to the next decade of layers?

Its gonna do what it do . . .

60 - so, if I get what you are saying, those that survive this mess in big law will be better situated (financially) when compared to the next decade of layers?

Its gonna do what it do . . .

71 - that makes a fair amount of sense. Its suprising that I would get that while having a stupid avatar and quoting the chitlin' circuit

So, that leads to my next question, what happens to the supply of lawyers, i.e., lawyer factories aka schools .

10 - some bullshit U of M ranking method on academic influence

10 - some bullshit U of M ranking method on academic influence

for usn&wr -- use last column ; also this came from a usn&wr blog post

12 - nice job.

10 - I read it the same way that Marin and Elie read the question. If the question submitter really was thinking about lateraling later, why would 2L summer be important? Perhaps I am missing something, but going back for 2L would almost like leading them on.

Partner E: bad call on the sleeve lengths, and I doubt you actually caught someone doing the suspender/belt thing. Otherwise, not to shabby.

Lime green = no; but pale green/pink are acceptable for casual friday, where casual friday = dress slacks, sports coat and tie. However, its only on Friday and when you are feeling particularly festive and when there is no chance that you will see a client (yours or anyone else's).

For a peer firm, I am sure you subscribe to the rotation of white and light blue shirts, with an occasional french blue thrown in -- on special occasions.

68, just because I can't see doesn't mean others can't see me . . . I have my shirts labled so I know the colors and I can match them to my suits.

Its gonna do what it do. . . .

76 - not exactly like I can see a typo, if the voice software tell me its ok, I go with it. Thanks for pointing out that which makes us different.

Now, Hit the Road Jack.

/s/ the worst avatar of all-time

Partner E: What about me? We had such a nice discussion about fashion in the other thread -- and I'm blind, and quite possibly dead too.

23 --The double standard is plain to see for any who choose to open their eyes.

Watch it . . .

79 -- watch it, I'm watching you. Wait, what?

136 - Well, the Night Time is the Right Time to be with the one I love, but I may do a bit of the Mess Around . . . or a few hits of black tar.

1-4; 15: Be men and sign your names.

13 - care to SHOW us the real story?
