What about at Temple - any CBs from Ballard? Or Duane Morris and Morgan?

[Anonymous User]

Blank Rome made offers or just callbacks to Penn?

[Anonymous User]

I think offers at Penn but not sure about the T2s.

Any news?

Any news?

Friend who works at Morgan Lewis told me they were making CB's today, no idea to what schools or anything though. Not the most helpful update, but figured I'd share.

I was told late last week by people on the blank hiring committee that their first committee meeting had not yet even been scheduled, and was likely two weeks away. Seems like they're not in any hurry, and I doubt they've made any offers yet.

Thanks - can confirm they made CBs at a T2.

Most firms didn't move much slower at all during Penn's OCI. Maybe they felt like they needed to keep up with NYC or they'd lose out on too many students, and maybe it's different at the other schools in the region.

I've scheduled multiple CBs and none are sooner than September 3rd. So yeah, guess Philly firms are taking their sweet ole time.

Are you from Penn or a local school?

Are you talking about callbacks or offers? I know there were callbacks but have not heard of offers yet from Pepper, Blank, Dechert or ML.

Sorry I just meant CB's. No idea about offers yet.

From all accounts, Philly firms seem to be moving slowly at the local T2s but quickly at Penn. It seems only Penn students have CBs at this point despite the fact that most of the local schools are almost done OCI.

Agreed, seems that way from my experience.

I don't know, I'm at Temple/ Nova/ Rutgers and I have 6 CBs scheduled already and maybe more on the way.

I'm the anon that agreed, also at a local school, and now have 5 CBs. Looks like things are picking up now.
