this year at this point in the hiring process than there were last year? I've spoken with several 3Ls and they all confirmed that as bad as it was, there were more offers that had been extended by this point last year.

That's what I'm thinking. I think firms are giving a few offers early and planning on giving most offers after the 28 day deadline passes on their top picks.

Cravath said they were going to hire around 80, up from 22 last year. Skadden said it would hire 100, up from around 75. Milbank and a few others were going to hire maybe 20 more associates across all offices.

All those numbers are probably down at least 30% from boom levels.

Bringing back big classes or paring them back?

I don't see how scaling back classes will backfire. If things pick up, firms can just create more 2nd tier attorney or temp positions. Nobody makes

partner anymore anyways.

bringing back big classes.

you're assuming theyll actually get to start if we double dip.im thinking theyll be deferred, offers will be rescinded again,etc.

I don't even understand why firms even bother having summer classes anymore. It is not as if there are a lack of law schools at top schools that they couldnt just hire third year.

Yeah. Admittedly, I don't go to a school where many got jobs in the first place, but of those I've spoken to, many have either been no-offered or are still waiting. I only know like two or three people with concrete job offers.

*Edit* OK, I thought you were referring to permanent job offers for 3Ls.

ATL is full of shit dude. You haven't learned this yet? Hell, one of the firms they reported as having 100 percent offer rates actually no-offered 2/3 of the summers in another of its offices (its home office, actually). I know this b/c my buddy was one of the victims.

I see--I should have assumed you weren't totally serious there. I don't feel good about outing the firm, because it was a small class and my friend is using one of the partners as a reference.

I'm still waiting, and it is going to drive me nuts.

It is definitely taking longer, but it is consistent with the TLS Columbia offer thread. Only, like, five major firms have extended offers, so far.
