I'm surprised there are firms that have started already. I'm enjoying my time off.

I've heard that the 'R' in WLRK stands for RAGERS EVERY NIGHT.

This is what I imagine the typical Skadden NY SA program is like, all day, every day.

Unless one of the excited dudes at this party is celebrating with a firm other than his own, I think this group is from Covington in DC.

For real? I guess it's telling that I don't go out enough to be able to figure out where this is in DC. There aren't that many "cool" night spots to go around.

The group being from the DC office doesn't mean the event is in DC tho.

We should do a NY meetup in June after everyone's started! Looks like a lot of us are here based on the initial poll.

Is it just a coincidence that the biggest sweatshop firms have the most summer events?

My biggest worry is figuring out the subway system for commuting.

Can't wait to awkwardly loiter outside of my firm's office building after leaving for work way too early, just in case I screw something up

Why would you bring a padfolio?

I was planning on walking in with nothing. I heard the first day is all tech training and orientation anyway.

idk, just because I'd probably feel funny walking in with nothing. Plus they might give us recruiting materials/event schedules or something like that. Probably just my typical law student neurosis showing.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
