A Summer Associate Hook-ups Poll: The Criss-Cross Stratagem

By

Hooking up with summers…

Some firms bar the practice altogether. Others turn a blind eye. Putting aside firm policy, there is a possible moral conundrum. On the one hand, there is a power relationship at play, bringing the situation into the realm of sexual harassment. On the other, the extent of influence an associate holds over the future employment of a summer is roughly 0%, so why should anyone care? It’s a dilemma.

And then there’s the fallout to consider.

Enter these genius/creepy bros from the D.C. area. They have a plan to hook up with the summers and avoid all (or at least some) administrative and moral obstacles….

Caption Contest: Cravath, Swaine & MOAR BROS

It’s summer, it’s hot, wherever they go you can best believe bros will be rocking the flip flops.

We’ve had caption contests before that focused on Cravath swag, and technically this is more of the same. But I’m less interested in the Cravath duffel bag in the following picture. It’s the whole ensemble the merits a caption contest.

As our photographer said:

It never ceases to amaze me the extent to which BigLaw continues to encourage and reward the ‘bro’. “Thanks for bidding us at OCI we have just 1 question: did u wear oversized womens’ aviators, baggy cargo shorts, a dumb polo, and flipflops every single day of law school?” You’re hired.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Are You Ready For The Summer?

This is what 'working' looks like during summer.

The summer is almost upon us. You know what that means in Biglaw? Lunch time!

After months spent ordering Seamless and cursing the terrible weather, the summertime promises a world of outdoor seating, real plates, and real martinis with lunch — delicious martinis, and other cocktails.

Of course, there’s a downside to all this summer fun, as three patrons at a noted Manhattan steakhouse found out. Three buddies walked in, but only two were able to walk out under their own powers.

The other one, well, we have pictures…
