Always seems to be a random NYLS student at one of the big NY firms every year. Major props to that dude/girl

All the more evidence that it's all about who you know.

...or that being ranked really high in your class helps...

i think most is 10. I know Skadden is 12 though

yup.
In some smaller markets though, there may be a lot of biglaw satellite offices that do 8 weeks max.

I noticed this....Why do they do this? Small office doesn't want to pay that last $6200?

no idea, but for the firms I've heard of, they encourage splitting the summer 6+6 or 8+6.

STB is 12 weeks. They seem somewhat open to splitting between offices within the firm (NY/London is a popular option), but less-so with other firms.

This is interesting because Cravath has a very low number of YLS students (just two!), yet other V5 firms like S&C and DPW have 15 or more. What is it about Cravath that YLS students don't like?

Based on my experience with the Cravath interviewing process and conversations with friends who interviewed there, they seem to care more about how well they think someone would do in big law than they care about academic excellence. Doing well academically is a prerequisite, but it's only a prerequisite, and so it wouldn't surprise me if they just didn't give many offers to Yale students.

what's up with St. Johns sneaking in 1 associate at these firms

[FSK]

These are fascinating.

At least in the case of Cravath, I met a few partners from St. Johns. I could speculate that St. Johns has enough boomers from there to keep it relevant to hire 1 person at the firm a year?
