I assume you're talking about Kirkland and Jenner. I just saw that email as well. I imagine it's certainly feasible to go to more than one in a night, as they probably don't expect you to be there for the full couple of hours. In fact, if you were "that guy" who spent two hours talking to recruiters the night before your interview, I bet it wouldn't bode so well. TBH, I'm wondering whether it's worth it to go to any of these things.

I'm told it's a good way to (a) get to know your interviewers a little before actually sitting through the interview; and (b) create a favorable impression with other lawyers at the firm who may not be interviewing you directly. I think they also want to see that you can interact competently in a social situation (i.e. carry a conversation; not over-booze, etc.). That said, the obvious pitfall is making a huge fool of yourself and ruining your interview chances before you even enter the room. still, i figure i'll show up, mingle for maybe 20 mins and then split.Anonymous User wrote:I assume you're talking about Kirkland and Jenner.

I was just thinking about this. Going to have to be like the 3rd week of Sept. Don't really want to miss the first class...goodolgil wrote:Anyone anticipate how they're going to square callback opportunities with the "mandatory" journal orientations that will go on the week after OCI?
True story from my internship: one of our clerks told us about his OCI experience. He did a bunch of screening interviews with a briefcase and wasn't getting callbacks. His OCS noticed and told him to ditch the briefcase and he ran the table after that. After hearing that story, I personally wouldn't risk a briefcase (but then again, I've just been using a pink binder for my pre-OCI interviews and plan to keep using it, so I'm probably not the one to talkblowhard wrote:Bah, just feels so shitty cramming all that in a padfolio.

I'd like to hope I get at least one CB. If not, I'll be missing class to beat down doors. So, either way...existenz wrote:You guys are pretty confident.blowhard wrote:I was just thinking about this.

I also have mandatory journal orientation and I think it's probably better to miss the first week of classes than risk waiting too long for callbacks. I plan on scheduling the firms I want the most the first week of classes and figuring out the rest from there.blowhard wrote:I was just thinking about this.

Whereas some of us did bid on them, didn't get an interview, emailed recruiting and got a generic "come to our hospitality suite!" responseAnonymous User wrote:I got one.

That's what I was thinking. But without GPA, it's tough to preselect. I guess they can do it based on Law Review or work experience.Anonymous User wrote:I got one.
