Shitty? |
|
Date: August 27th, 2005 1:04 AM Author: Supple Chocolate Corner Weed Whacker Can you explain why a firm should feel obligagted to make offers to summers? I mean, why is it such bad form not to if you really think your class is a little sub-par? I really don't know the answer, I'm not trying to call you out or anything.

|
Date: August 27th, 2005 1:06 AM Author: Supple Chocolate Corner Weed Whacker Well, that's why its a good business decision for them to do it, but that doesnt address my question, which is why is it reprehensible behavoir for them to choose not to if they're willing to accept the future hiring consequences. Ownership (expressing what is very much the status quo attitude on this, as I've observed) seems to be upset that MWE would have the nerve to not make offers. I'm just wondering if he or anyone else can explain why because I don't know alot about this. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=247539&forum_id=2#3686666) |

Date: August 27th, 2005 1:08 AM Author: high-end faggot firefighter if they tell you they have a spot for each summer that they hire, and they dont, they deserve to burn. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=247539&forum_id=2#3686687) |
|
Date: August 27th, 2005 1:09 AM Author: Supple Chocolate Corner Weed Whacker Ok, that's fair I guess. Lying is bullshit. But just because they're not making offers to their summers doesnt mean they lied about the number of spaces. It may just mean they're going to look elsewhere to fill them, no? I assume that's what happened in MWE's case. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=247539&forum_id=2#3686700) |

|
Date: August 27th, 2005 1:15 AM Author: lascivious violent principal's office mother B/c the tacit promise is that every summer or nearly every summer who isn't a world class fuckup will get an offer. If they don't live up to that, it's pretty shitty b/c people rely on that in making decisions about where to summer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=247539&forum_id=2#3686768) |
|
Date: August 27th, 2005 1:17 AM Author: Supple Chocolate Corner Weed Whacker Yeah, I guess the firm knows that many of the people who accepted a summer offer wouldnt have come if they knew that MWE was going to have a big shift it the % of offers made. But going forward, now that this news is out there, should the firm still feel like they need to do it? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=247539&forum_id=2#3686788) |
|
Date: August 27th, 2005 1:19 AM Author: lascivious violent principal's office mother Yes, b/c presumably the same tacit promise exists with all summers until it's explicitly denied by the firm. It's basically an industry standard. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=247539&forum_id=2#3686810) |

|
Date: August 27th, 2005 1:14 AM Author: Supple Chocolate Corner Weed Whacker Ok, bear with me. I'm not trying to prod you, I'm just trying to understand. How is making offers tied to professional development? To me, hiring a bunch of summers and then having them sit in the corner doing nothing would be a violation of a firm's obligation. But if they give the summers high quality training and just chose to look elsewhere for their full-time hires, how is that a violation of the firm's committment to developing lawyers? Presumably, each summer learned a good bit. The lack of an offer doesnt cause their memory to be erased and what they leanred will serve the legal community...just at another firm. I agree 100% that 2Ls should be wary of firms that don't make many offers to summers, but that's purely because we're looking out for ourselves.
Is it your opinion that a firm has an obligation to make offers to the vast majority of their summers? |

Date: August 27th, 2005 1:18 AM Author: insecure mind-boggling hell A no-offer is blackballing someone. It will fuck up that person's career. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=247539&forum_id=2#3686796) |

Date: August 27th, 2005 1:21 AM Author: Supple Chocolate Corner Weed Whacker These were explicit no offers, not that 'cold offer' phenomonon? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=247539&forum_id=2#3686826) |
|
Date: August 27th, 2005 1:23 AM Author: insecure mind-boggling hell I don't know. It doesn't really matter. These people are fucked. People will assume there's something wrong with them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=247539&forum_id=2#3686850) |
|
Date: August 27th, 2005 1:27 AM Author: Supple Chocolate Corner Weed Whacker Isnt it fairly common for people to look for other jobs after getting an offer? How does a cold offer proactively fuck someone? The new firms they're looking at don't know its cold, right? Or do I not understand this practice?

Date: August 27th, 2005 1:29 AM Author: insecure mind-boggling hell You're understanding is correct. What I'm saying is that if the firm gives out 20 cold offers, the cold offers aren't really secret and word will get around that they are really no-offers. The whole advantage of the cold offer is that other firms think you have an offer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=247539&forum_id=2#3686901) |

Date: August 27th, 2005 1:18 AM Author: Laughsome mentally impaired nursing home personal credit line Yes. 2Ls summer at a firm expecting to work there after law school unless something goes wrong. It is common and widely expected practice for firms to hire all the 2L summers who do not fuck up. If the 2Ls hold up their end of the bargain and do their jobs properly, it's bullshit for the firm to suddenly decide not to make offers anyway.
Also, as others have pointed out, no offer is effectively a blackball. |

If this story is true, I would have banded the other summers together and sued immediately. Then I would have contacted every law magazine in the United States about the lawsuit. Then I would have contacted SV media sources. Of course GA would find out about it.
Then you go to every law school's career services department and tell them about the lawsuit. Ask them to send e-mails to students about it. |

But, it's not the easiest question to answer. If you say you didn't like the firm, then you're bad mouthing your old employer and you look like a dick/bad employee.

its not frivilous b/c who knows if they are true... he has no firsthand knowledge about their truth and he is still telling everyone about it like its the truth.
my point is that they can make his life hell if they want. you and your gang keep saying "no they can't because it's true" and thats simply not the case. even if he would eventually win, theres a lot of negative reprocussions in it for him. |

Date: August 27th, 2005 3:41 AM Author: Supple Chocolate Corner Weed Whacker "its not frivilous b/c who knows if they are true"
MWE would know. If they sue knowing that the statements are true, its frivilous. And if they did that, and they lost on SJ, there is a very good chance they would pay costs. That remedy is only enforced when the plaintiff has acted in a particularly egregious fashion. Suing someone for libel when the facts they stated are true and you know it would fit the bill. And its not like these facts are ambiguous. Either a handful of Michigan 2L summers at MWE were given no-offers via phon message or they weren't. Its not a subjective thing. |

Date: August 27th, 2005 3:48 AM Author: Supple Chocolate Corner Weed Whacker It was you who said that they would sue even if they didnt think they could win. I responded to that hypothetical and now you're blasting me for running with it. You're an idiot and you've been pwn3d about 25 times by about 7 different posters in under 30 minutes. Well done.
But if you think you're still right, I invite you to respond to this post by summarizing your stance on how this suit would go. Who has the burden of proving the statements true? Would the lawyers in question have a claim to sue for libel when they weren't named, and most weren't identified by descripitive characterisics? Are these lawyers private, public, or quasi public figures in their roles as employers in a law firm? Etc. The only point I concede to you is that they can sue even if they don't think they can win.

Date: August 27th, 2005 4:21 AM Author: Thirsty Ocher Field Actually, falsity is not an element of defamation of a private individual. In order to prove defamation of a privte individual, you must show: 1) publication, 2) of a defamatory statement, 3) of or concerning the plaintiff, 4) damages (which are presumed in the case of libel and slander per se). (Truth is an affirmative defense)
If the issue is of public concern, then the plaintiff must show also 5)falsity and 6) fault (malice if public figure and negligence if private figure). |

Date: August 27th, 2005 11:06 AM Author: Nubile Walnut Set Athletic Conference I think you're wrong, and if you're right, the consequences to society would be so detrimental that the law would quickly be changed.
"A defense recognized in most jurisdictions is 'opinion.' If the person makes a statement of opinion as opposed to fact, the statement may not support a cause of action for defamation. Whether a statement is viewed as an expression of fact or opinion can depend upon context - that is, whether or not the person making the statement would be perceived by the community as being in a position to know whether or not it is true. If your employer calls you a pathological liar, it is far less likely to be regarded as opinion than if such a statement is made by somebody you just met. Some jurisdictions have eliminated the distinction between fact and opinion, and instead hold that any statement that suggests a factual basis can support a cause of action for defamation."

Date: August 27th, 2005 11:25 PM Author: Thirsty Ocher Field I am not sure how your definition supports your position. He is making a statement of fact, that MWE did not make offers to a significant number of summers. Clearly, he is presenting himself as being a person in a position to know the truth of this statement. A statement of opinion that would not be actionable would be something like, I think MWE is a horrible firm and nobody should work there.

Date: August 27th, 2005 2:30 PM Author: black alcoholic crackhouse main people You know, the more I look at this thread, the more I have to believe that the OP got a ding after being a summer associate there. I can definitely see passing along financial trouble/firms that don't give offers to summers...I can see anecdotes like attys making passes at people, even if that stuff speaks less to the firm as a whole.
But the OP seems really motivated to make sure as many people as possible get the idea that this firm is both financially and ethically shaky. The only way I could picture myself this upset at a firm is if they personally slighted me, i.e. gave me the no-offer blackball for a pretty crappy reason.
Until I hear something similar from another source, I would tend to disregard or at least downplay the significance of this information. |

If that's true, this firm seems to deserve the vitriol.
