POLL: Which Chicago firm?
I'm interested in litigation and liked all three firms. I'm not super concerned about JD's blackbox compensation. The main two things that are important to me is a friendly culture where the people actually like each other and exit options after 3-5 years (goal is federal govt.) I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of these firms.

Re: POLL: Which Chicago firm?
Since you're interested in lit, something you should keep in mind is JD and McDermott have a lot more practice areas you can go into. Since you're coming out of 1L year, you want to keep your options open.
That being said, working for a big firm's smaller office would be really nice, so don't count out Ropes.
I'd set up some second look interviews to get a better feel for the culture.
