Date: October 11th, 2004 2:28 AM Author: Jet-lagged shrine People who claim DPW has nicer, more friendly partners or lower hours.. full of it? or telling reality? or just honestly believe this? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=92767&forum_id=2#1469344) |

Beware of large, highly ranked law firms telling you their hours are lower than their competitor's. |

Date: October 11th, 2004 2:36 AM Author: Jet-lagged shrine firms will have nicer partners than others because it is just a matter of numbers (like some firms will have more blond haired attorneys than others) or because nicer partners are attracted to DPW ?

Date: October 11th, 2004 2:38 AM Author: Pearly mood tanning salon Neither. You're assuming they ARE nicer. The partners ACT nicer for marketing purposes -- they make more money is they perpetuate a myth that they're friendlier than CSM and are able to get the best people.

Date: October 11th, 2004 2:30 AM Author: Pearly mood tanning salon This was just discussed. DPW and Cravath partners are in the business of making you work as much as you can -- that is how leverage works. They simply do a better job at pretending to give a fuck about you. If that makes you happier, go there. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=92767&forum_id=2#1469348) |

Date: October 11th, 2004 11:23 AM Author: Opaque alpha Roughly, yes. Among knowledgeable people, the argument isn't about hours, but atmosphere. You're going to work very close to constantly at any elite firm in NYC. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=92767&forum_id=2#1469842) |

Date: October 11th, 2004 11:46 AM Author: Jet-lagged shrine So how is the atmosphere any different between DPW and Cravath? After all, both provide free starbucks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=92767&forum_id=2#1469923) |

Date: October 11th, 2004 11:51 AM Author: Opaque alpha That's very much open to debate. An argument can be made that DPW puts more stock in being civil/respectful while they pile on work -- the data on that are inconsistent. The Cravath assignment system also means that you're stuck with one partner, good or evil, so there's no way to influence who you work for.

Date: October 11th, 2004 12:11 PM Author: Opaque alpha Rarely just you and one partner, although based on a couple of friends' experiences, that can happen at Cravath and they view it as a big plus. One way or the other, it's out of your hands. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=92767&forum_id=2#1469995) |

Date: October 11th, 2004 12:53 PM Author: up-to-no-good foreskin box office From what I understand, its not that you are assigned to a single partner during a given rotation, but a "Team" of 2-4 partners that assign work. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=92767&forum_id=2#1470152) |
