Future Cahill SA as well. Doubt we are getting anything though . . .
Cahill doesn't send any swag, or at least they did not during our year.

Got a holiday card from Cahill, if that counts.

For context, it is a wooden cutting board that is BRANDED with "Sullivan & Cromwell" and it's hilarious.. Also, this gift went to 3Ls who have accepted.

Came with invitation to pre-summer orientation for SAs in New York. Is that a thing firms normally do?

Anyone get anything from Jones Day, or is there no need for me to prepare for 3L OCI?

I believe one of the reasons Cahill has ridiculous profits is because they are very aggressive about controlling costs.

In spite of the size, please don't wear it at school.
What is up with this weird hangup everyone has about this. I wear my firm backpack everyday. Not because I want to shill for the firm but it's because it's easily the best backpack I have ever owned.
TLSers are overly sensitive to anything that could possibly, in one universe or another, potentially have a chance to maybe be taken as gloating.
Agreed - tons of 2Ls and 3Ls at my T14 use firm branded swag. Literally no one cares or notices. Often with water bottles, notepads etc. it doesn't even mean you're going to the firm / got an offer, but just got free stuff at 2L OCI.
same here, but I've noticed that the vast majority of people using firm stuff are using stuff for firms they are NOT going to.

imo use your Proskauer water bottle from OCI all you want, but don't wear post-acceptance swag like a senior in HS repping their future college
This. Huge difference between the K&E umbrella that everyone got two of and feeling cool in your new fleece.

But, I'm some number of years out - may also be that people were more sensitive back then because fewer people had offers.

Is that just a T-14 thing? I had a CB with them, and I didn't get an umbrella.

I would think the same rule for CB thank you emails applies to this as well.

As in don't do it.
