Date: February 25th, 2005 3:20 AM Author: primrose excitant antidepressant drug You'll work hard, but it'll make you a better lawyer in whatever specialty you wind up in. I bet you have a pretty good idea what you want to focus on, and that it's something that lends itself to a biglaw practice more than most of your classmates.
And don't worry--if it turns out to not be a great fit, you'd have obscene options if you reinterviewed.
Also, paging GTO? He suggests that poor representation of Yale and Stanford at firms like Cravath implied poorer placement in NYC than Harvard. And, in Stanford's case, Northwestern as well. |

I wasn't pointing to poor placement at Cravath, I was pointing to poor placement at *all* Vault/AmLaw firms in the aggregate. The quality modifier in the rankings didn't have much of an impact at all, except at the extreme margins (ie. statistical ties) the quality/depth rankings ended up being the same as the depth rankings.
In other words, tons of Yalies turning down Cravath for Cleary makes absolutely no difference... A self selection problem only exists if tons of Yalies are turning down Cravath for Jacoby & Meyers or the Personal Injury Hotline.
And fyi, the poorer placement isn't due to their reputations -- the regression analysis on the national employment data makes it *very* clear what's going on here. |

Date: February 25th, 2005 4:12 AM Author: primrose excitant antidepressant drug Okay, I apologize for being down on the study before I've seen it (and I am looking forward to reading it). But what is your conclusion, if it's not reputational? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=141092&forum_id=2#2205386) |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:31 AM Author: Exhilarant Nudist Dilemma Going to leave that as a surprise for now. However, think about some of the things that differentiate the HYSCCN schools and you'll probably come up with at least one of the variables. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=141092&forum_id=2#2205429) |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:32 AM Author: primrose excitant antidepressant drug The only obvious thing is geography. But I'm skeptical that it's that big a deal, in terms of options (though not in terms of outcomes). Okay, well I'll wait anxiously.
EDIT: I could also see alumni network. There might be a little more to that. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:37 AM Author: Exhilarant Nudist Dilemma I adjusted for region, as well as sectoral preferences.
The significant variables aren't related to student preferences, they're related to the schools themselves. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 11:27 AM Author: soul-stirring headpube french chef Seems to me that one thing that differentiates the HYSCCN crowd is that they have academic and clerking options not available to the the 7-200 crowd below them. Is that a reason why Yalies are turning down top firms? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=141092&forum_id=2#2206158) |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 12:51 PM Author: Exhilarant Nudist Dilemma That's sectoral preferences and it's accounted for. Keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of clerks -- even Yale clerks -- go into private practice after their clerkship.

Date: February 25th, 2005 4:12 AM Author: Amber Parlor Gaping GTO--I just glanced at your paper. The bluebooking sucks and will be an obvious hinderance to getting any sort of placement (Epstein and Tribe can get away with bad bluebooking; law students can't). Clean that shit up. Or if you don't know how to, pay someone to do it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=141092&forum_id=2#2205388) |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:29 AM Author: Exhilarant Nudist Dilemma I didn't bluebook it yet, the current cites are just placeholders for when I do bluebook it. I'm looking for comments on the substance, not the stylstic form (unless you think sections of text should be converted to footnotes, or new sections added, or something like that). Sorry if I wasn't explicit about this in the email. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=141092&forum_id=2#2205424) |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:31 AM Author: Amber Parlor Gaping Ok, I just wanted to make sure you know that a law student piece w/ imperfect bluebooking = autoding.
I just noticed it when I opened the file to make sure it worked. I'll read the substance this weekend. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:33 AM Author: Exhilarant Nudist Dilemma Thanks, I really appreciate it. Plan is to get comments, make all the necessary revisions to the substance, then go and do all the bluebooking then. Considering how many citations I've added/removed/altered, I figure spending hours perfectly bluebooking a draft is a waste, better to just do it all at once on the final version. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=141092&forum_id=2#2205437) |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:35 AM Author: Amber Parlor Gaping You can post it here when you've bluebooked it. But before you send it to the journals, I'd seriously have someone check your work (since you're a 1L who probably will make some mistakes). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=141092&forum_id=2#2205439) |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:39 AM Author: Exhilarant Nudist Dilemma Yeah I definitely will, thanks.
I just hope a journal would find the topic interesting... My big obstacle is that lower ranked schools might not be too interested in this, but without an offer from one of them it'll be extremely hard to be seriously considered by the high ranked schools, who would likely be very interested in this. Ugh. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:39 AM Author: Amber Parlor Gaping Would secondary journals at top schools care? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=141092&forum_id=2#2205451) |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:41 AM Author: Exhilarant Nudist Dilemma I think there are only one or two secondary journals dealing with education. There are a few labor and employment law journals, but I don't think they'd handle something like this since they seem to just focus on the NLRA and that kind of shit (though I guess if they take email submissions it can't hurt to send it in anyway, since the cost would be $0). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=141092&forum_id=2#2205458) |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:42 AM Author: Amber Parlor Gaping What about generic secondary journals? Do they exist? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=141092&forum_id=2#2205463) |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:46 AM Author: Exhilarant Nudist Dilemma Doesn't look like any exist:
Seems like all the "general journals" are flagship law reviews, no secondary general journal. All the secondary ones seem to focus on specific topics. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:49 AM Author: Exhilarant Nudist Dilemma Speaking of secondary journals, this is the only on-point one that I'd be able to submit to:
The other education journals either require exclusive publication rights (South Carolina) or are peer reviewed and do not allow submissions to other journals (Journal of Legal Education at GULC). |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:54 AM Author: Exhilarant Nudist Dilemma Ugh, and it looks like my article might be too long even after all the edits I did:
http://www.law.upenn.edu/labor/new%20website/submissions.html
So far I'm more than double over their word limit. I guess if I gutted the rankings themselves and just focused on what influences employment placement, I might be able to get it to work. Then again, I probably should just not bother since it's probably too much of a tangent for them. Ugh. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:22 AM Author: Amber Parlor Gaping 120.
A real xfer would never say something like this:
And, I'm a transfer, which means that ZERO members of the actual class of 2006 at Yale accepted offers from Cravath. |

Date: February 25th, 2005 3:34 AM Author: Amber Parlor Gaping Maybe this is a problem unique to YLS transfers.

|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:40 AM Author: Amber Parlor Gaping Ok, I'm probably blowing your statement out of proportion, then. I guess your experience is as such because YLS is so small.

|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:07 AM Author: primrose excitant antidepressant drug I transfered undergrad and it took a long time before I felt like I was part of the class.

|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:10 AM Author: Amber Parlor Gaping SLS is similar to YLS in class size and accepting a relatively few # of xfers.
NYU/CLS would be totally different. There are 400 people per class and like 50 transfers. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:13 AM Author: primrose excitant antidepressant drug I think we should take more transfers. A lot more, actually. Transfers are a real loyal bunch.

|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:16 AM Author: Amber Parlor Gaping SLS is too small to do that, though. CLS/NYU expand the class by like 10%. Stanford's class would expand by 30% if they did it similarly.

|
Date: February 25th, 2005 2:03 PM Author: Grizzly stimulating cuckold gay wizard When I had my Cravath callback, one of my interviews was with an alum of my school, which also historically has had trouble recruiting there. We talked a bit about it and I think agreed that part of the reason was that Cravath had more of a sweatshop reputation than other comparable NYC firms...a reputation this person felt was undeserved, because, according to them, they work no more hours than DPW etc...
The person also mentioned that if you wanted a US attorney job, Cravath was not the feeder, but other firms were, so don't come to Cravath if that is your grand plan. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 4:47 PM Author: bull headed brindle haunted graveyard You're definitely not crazy for going to Cravath. I'm also a YLS 2L, and I've noticed that people here make choices about firms that are quite strange and faddish. Wilmer is this year's big winner; in addition to its NYC crew, it also has another 8 or so YLS folks in DC. It's honestly pretty bizarre that people here prefer Cleary, Debevoise, and Paul Weiss over Cravath and S&C (in NYC); and Wilmer, O'Melveny, and Jenner over W&C, Covington, and Mayer (in DC). The only explanations for the madness are 3Ls' stories about working at their firms, and firms' efforts to raise their YLS profile. Wilmer and OMM, for example, are really really visible--Dellinger gave a talk here in the fall, and Wilmer organized a YLS reception during the ACS convention last summer.

I hope they all pursue appellate glory arguing about whether men can buttpeck each other and whether I can wipe my arse with the flag.
Cravath money is pretty good and the exit options are supposed to be amazing, assuming you dont make partner. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:23 AM Author: Flushed startling scourge upon the earth range they have only 4 tax partners...
and what do you mean by "amazing exit options"? |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:27 AM Author: turquoise thriller party of the first part Well I didnt say making partner was easy, obviously.
I always hear the Cravath name on a resume opens a ton of doors in many areas. In-house legal work, other law firms, starting your own law firm, going to consulting or banking or other business things, etc. etc. etc. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:28 AM Author: Flushed startling scourge upon the earth range arguments like "cravath provides great exit options" usually sound like arguments of the form "Harvard Law School provides great exit options-- you can transfer down to any school so easily!"
ya dig? |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:34 AM Author: turquoise thriller party of the first part so what? the reality is that not many people will be making partner at cravath. but "transferring down" from there will probably still give a better result than if one had gone to another firm.
and for the people who go into banking/business, maybe they'll make even more than if they'd made partner @ cravath. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:37 AM Author: Flushed startling scourge upon the earth range i just think that talkign generally about whether "exit options" from a given biglaw firm exceed the exit optiosn from another biglaw firm is generally stupid. e.g. the vast majority or cravath litigators would be more or less useless to a corporations in house department.

|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:42 AM Author: turquoise thriller party of the first part what's stupid about it? most people at any top biglaw firm will not make partner, for one reason or another. so, it makes good sense to focus on what kind of options each biglaw firm will open up later on.

|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:43 AM Author: Flushed startling scourge upon the earth range oh, i'm just saying it's so specific to your practice area/client contacts taht generalizations as between *firms* is dumb.
e.g. Thacher Proffitt will provide much better exit options into e.g. the securitization divisions of the top i-banks than will wachtell, since wachtell just doesn't do much of that. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:47 AM Author: turquoise thriller party of the first part yeah that's very true, the whole practice groups thing. but cravath is supposedly pretty strong in almost all their groups, if not the very highest firm.
how about credit markets, especially junk bond trading. any idea if any law firms get involved with the legal end of that? that's been kinda catching my interest lately. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2005 3:49 AM Author: Flushed startling scourge upon the earth range Latham & Watkins immediately comes to mind with respect to that.
Find out which firms act as counsel to the banks that issue thsoe securities.
Drexel Burnham Lambert was tops in that, but then they split-- mostly to DLJ-LA, and a few to UBS-LA. DLJ LA became CSFB LA. I think Latham does most of their work.
Therefore, if you want to be a big dick doing junk bond issuances, much better to go to the Latham than e.g. Wachtell. I don't think Cravath does too much of this, but i'm not sure-- i know they do tons of M&A. |

The fact taht you are not in law school bars you from opining on your chances at getting a job at one of these firms, yet the fact that you are not in law school does not bar you from acting as an expert on various other aspects of legal careers?? |

But I know the OP, if he is who he says he is, and I'm surprised he'd post in such a way. Prove it: post the initials of one of the people you were supposed to live with this year before you bailed for New Haven. |

Date: February 25th, 2005 10:31 AM Author: navy coffee pot parlour Hey mwallens, your story reminds of what happened with Columbia and Cravath in the mid-90's. A bunch of the Columbia law review staff working at Cravath one summer had a horrible experience, spread the word about their dissatisfaction, and in the following year Cravath was not able to recruit anyone from Columbia. Obviously, Cravath has repaired its reputation with Columbia since then, but something similar might be happening with Yale. Peer assessments have a strong influence on people's decisionmaking.

On the interview circuit, did you meet any Chicago grads who seemed offended (perhaps that's too strong of a word) by your decision to transfer? |

I'm going to be a 1L at YLS this fall. I'm not really interested in academia or clerking at all, and it seems like that isn't your path either. That said, do you find it a bit suffocating over there, and are you able to have your needs/interests met?
Thanks. |
