are younger associates treated any differently than older ones?

Older associates are technically allowed to use the younger associates as footstools, but it rarely comes up as a matter of practice outside the v50 or so.

ETA: there is no difference from what I've seen. There may be some in terms of who gets hired in the first place (debatable), but once they bring you on board I don't think they either hand-hold the little ones or favor any particular person based on age.

on the plus side young associates just get timeouts instead of formal reprimands.

What about short associates? Will partners use my head as an armrest?

Not that I think this is too much of a terribly important question (sorry OP), but interesting that you suggest age plays no effect on biglaw hiring. As in, biglaw hiring does not noticeably alter on account of younger K-Jd or older candidates.

Please propose a better way to gauge the median age of first year biglaw associates.
