Law Firm Start Dates for Class of 2012
Hey Guys,
Has anyone received their start dates yet? I haven't heard anything yet and it's almost July. If folks have already received word, please post firm name, city, and month starting.
Thanks!

I actually start in late August...regional Big Law. The firm said that it was busy so that's a good thing I hope!

NYC Biglaw, have an option to start either 10/1 or 10/15 (and I've heard that other firms in NYC at least are doing the same thing).

Re: Law Firm Start Dates for Class of 2012
Seems like most people are going for Sept/Oct timeframe...is it worth taking time off to travel/relax/vacation if there are multiple start dates? The way I see it, might as well get started.....Anonymous User wrote:GDC gave us a choice of Sept, Oct, or Nov

Re: Law Firm Start Dates for Class of 2012
often overlooked is that you will be taxed at a much lower rate your stub year then at any other time in biglaw. that alone is reason to start early....enjoy making 12k a month (for 3 months) and being taxed as if you were making 3k a month (for 12 months).IntelligentsiaRocks wrote:Seems like most people are going for Sept/Oct timeframe...is it worth taking time off to travel/relax/vacation if there are multiple start dates?

Quoted anon poster here. That should have said "chose" instead of "choose."IntelligentsiaRocks wrote:Seems like most people are going for Sept/Oct timeframe...is it worth taking time off to travel/relax/vacation if there are multiple start dates?

I like money more than wasting time, so I chose Sept.

Might as well start early and make some money. Besides, December is slow for law firms...

Second week of August start date. Also offered September and October options. Things must be busy.

September 4th here too. We didn't get a choice, everyone is starting that day. Good sign that they have the work to justify all of us starting so early I think.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
