If so, unbelievable (for me, at least). A friend of mine who is a SA there has been ranting for the last 2 weeks about how Akin is one of the safest firms in the country and how he had nothing to worry about. I tried over and over and over again to tell him to not take anything for granted.

1L SA, so it's not like it would matter anyway. I can pretty much guarantee it's an offer to come back and then something like this will happen to him next summer. I keep telling him offers don't mean shit until you start working, but he won't believe me - just like he wouldn't believe me about Akin not being a 100% safe fallback firm. I think some people just need to learn things the hard way.

Why would Akin be one of the safest firms? I can't even come up with an explanation. It isn't the culture, practice areas, or concern about future recruiting (relative to other firms).

Not suprising. They've been hemorrhaging partners for a while.

There are 2 kinds of summer associates, my friend: those who can relax and those who interview. You interview.

I know that some summers will start in September 2010, others are deferred until September 2011. Others were no offered.

Was there really a 50% no offer rate across ALL offices? How do we know that? I saw the 50% no offer reported about Dallas on Above the Law...

Well let's wait and see what Akin does. Maybe it's flame that turns out to be true. If any firm would do it, I could see it being Akin. I mean, they had the nerve to rescind outstanding offers to 2L's and then later extended offers to 1L SA's. Kinda dick, in my mind.
