My SO got a Jones Day rejection today in Dallas.

Same here. Are you my S/O?

Anyone heard anything from K&L Gates Dallas post-interview?

Moving on to second round at McAndrews (Chicago) and first round McDermott

Is there a general process like 2 rounds and then offer or does it really vary a lot by firm?

Varies

Typical big law model is screener interview with one or a couple attorneys first, then an extended callback interview with multiple attorneys if you move onto the next stage. After that, you get an offer or a ding

Not sure if it's different for 1L but McDermott hires into practice groups so make sure you have something specific to articulate there.

will firms fly you out for a screener for 1L hiring? I assumed most screener interviews for 1Ls were preliminary phone interviews; idk thoughsince I haven't had any yet

Usually it's a phone or Skype screener, if they fly you out before a screener is done then typically they are going straight to what is normally known as a callback and skipping the screener stage

what's TCR for interning with the DAs office? mass mail? i'm liking crim pro so far, but I don't plan on gunning for PI post-grad so I'd like to experience it now (assuming I don't get a biglaw SA)

would I get to attend any experience with trials? i'd like to be a litigator

First A3 judge snail mail DING. Personally signed by the judge with comments on my resume, so at least it was classy.

[03152016]

any 2L oci benefits? any clerkship application benefits? good experience?
wasn't planning on applying, but just found out i can get funding for it

Do it man. I think you probably get the chance to come out of it with a few cool stories to share during OCI, plus, I assume a firm will appreciate that you had what's probably like a third semester of LRW.

im told mcdermott's first interview is 2-3 hours with multiple attorneys (4-6) and you in a room. talking chicago office only. nerve wracking. wonder if there is another round after that

Definitely moving from the quality of applications to the quantity of applications phase.

Rejection makes me feel bad.

Median pwnd at CCN. I had callbacks with a few firms in late December that went very well. There was never any mention of requesting grades, and both firms said I could expect to hear from them in late January after they had interviewed more candidates. Anybody have evidence anecdotal or otherwise that firms in this situation would request grades after 3 weeks of radio silence? Obviously I would be happy to never have to provide them, but now I'm nervous that I might get a grades request instead of an offer.

I know some people who were hired for firm gigs in Texas without ever sending in their grades. They obviously had some other pull -- HYS, URM, good previous work experience -- but firms don't interview people they aren't interested in.

Does it matter whether you take a morning interview + lunch or afternoon interview + no lunch? I feel like I'm much more put together in the afternoon. Also (and yes, I'm aware this is stupid and I need to get over it), I'd be stressed about the lunch, which sounds awkward.

I've not heard anything even regarding an interview

It's up to you. One has a nice, (usually) chill lunch and one doesn't. That would be my own personal guide.

We probably know the same people. People I know that meet at least 2/3 of these or similar criteria already have offers.

Meanwhile, I've meditating in radio silence for a minute.
