The trend I've been noticing (or perhaps just conjuring in my own head) is traditional biglaw moving towards first-half, so the sought after split summers more typically have become big-law / elite boutique (which is admittedly not as helpful for the transaction-oriented).

My understanding is there should be movement from Porter Hedges and Gardere (Houston) this week. Anyone hear anything today?

Anyone heard of any late/second round callbacks anywhere, or know if any firms do these? I'm written off all of my screeners, but still have quite a few firms I haven't received dings from and I'm wondering if there is any shot at all if these firms poorly estimate their yields.

I got one of these last year, but it was not the result of a screener. Rather I kept in touch with the CSO and made sure they were aware of where I stood. They emailed me when a firm had not yet filled their slots (and with whom I'd missed one of their few screeners during OCI) and wanted 3-4 and I got a screener and CB from that. (UT).
