Both have callbacks out, no known offers.

Good luck with the other firm. Do you mind sharing whether your are in/out of state, ~school rank, ~class rank?Anonymous User wrote:A national firm but smaller office in another state.

Fyi, don't know if this adds anything to the discussion, but I know almost all of the firms in this thread have sent "we don't want you for a callback but good luck finding a job in this awful economy" letters. I haven't heard of a Snell rejection letter being sent yet, tho. Posinelli doing CBS today, Bryan Cave tomorrow, Fennemore next week.

Re: Phoenix CB's
How many positions are on the table, total? G&B does 2, max, right? Snell has, I think, maybe ~8? Perkins Coie maybe ~5? Fennemore maybe ~8? I'm just trying to get a feel for how big this pie is.

I heard that Fennemore is going to be more like 5-6 this year, Snell 6, and GT 6. Squire Sanders might be having a few as well?

Re: Phoenix CB's
Or if you believe attorneys are a bad thing, then it's good to have less in Phoenix.
Isn't Phoenix like 6th in terms of total population in America, but like 19th in terms of # of attorneys?

And more attorneys would be a sign of a more vital private sector. The largest predictor of legal market size is corp headquarters.

Re: Phoenix CB's
Where are you getting your intel? I'd be surprised if Snell only hired 6 people for next summer. They had 8 in the most recent class, gave all of them offers, and are apparently bumping the summer program back up to ten weeks. That firm is apparently in very good shape. I would guess they could have given offers to 12-15 SAs last year but they have decided to be conservative ever since the catastrophic summer class of 2009.Anonymous User wrote:I heard that Fennemore is going to be more like 5-6 this year, Snell 6, and GT 6.

Re: Phoenix CB's
Every secondary market lags behind NY in this respect. And it's questionable whether PHX class size is, indeed, continuing to drop. I summered at a PHX firm and almost every firm in the city seemed to be on the upswing.Anonymous User wrote:Its sad how Phoenix lags the nation.

And PHX is a lot like Denver, San Diego, Portland, and Seattle in terms of legal market size, even though in metro population PHX is more comparable to Boston, Detroit, Miami, etc. You can't really compare PHX to NY when PHX is barely a top 20 legal market.

Re: Phoenix CB's
The NALP forms, for whatever they're worth, suggest more SA's than that. I believe the NALP says Snell will have ~8, Fennemore ~9, etc.Anonymous User wrote:Where are you getting your intel?

Re: Phoenix CB's
Any more movement?
Did anybody get a letter from Gammage & Burnham stating that the candidate is still under consideration? I know someone that got a letter like that, but I did not get one. It also seems kind of funky.

Re: Phoenix CB's
Regarding Gammage's letter, I got a phone call like that from O'Melveny's west coast office about a week ago. I accepted an offer the next day with Latham. Probably wouldn't have chosen OMM over them, but it seemed somewhat TTT to call a few weeks after callback and say, "Hopefully we'll have good news for you soon, but we just don't like you enough to give you an offer until we see more people."
It's a buyer's market. And the firms are the buyers.
