I can confirm Morgan Lewis gave out some CBs yesterday.
Do you know which Morgan Lewis office?

I was just thinking the same. It must be really disappointing to get the phone call and realize it is a ding. But at least they are quick about it. I hate waiting weeks to hear only to find out by snail mail.

It's an Orrick thing. I (and a ton of other people) found it super off-putting, since it's so out of the ordinary among firms. A few other places (Stoel Rives in PDX, for example) do this too. Just send a fucking email.

Is it safe to assume if you didn't get a callback yet, you aren't going to get one?

Also, anyone hear from Winston?

Interestingly, I got a call from my school to cancel my bid with Jones Day since apparently the firm had let them know I had already interviewed with them during this diversity fair.

Surprised the firm was so coordinated across offices to know who screened who and where. Also, I didn't know you were precluded from interviewing at one office of a firm if you had already interviewed with an office in a different location.

Definitely not unusual and it's something that our CDO stressed heavily to us. Some firms may not care as much, but they do talk. Legal world is small.

I guess only a few firms will limit you to one office? I know some firms encourage interviewing with multiple offices...

Cooley email ding. Not sure if that's relevant in this thread (maybe people only want to hear about callbacks), but I thought people would like to know in case they still have nothing.
