Quinn Emanuel Hiring Timeline Forum

Also interested in one of Quinn's offices. I sent them my stuff without a cover letter and just a screenshot of our online grades. The office I'm interested in contacted me and asked me to forward my final grades when our transcripts are available (don't know when that will be - hopefully soon). Is that a good sign, or do they respond to everyone regardless of whether or not they're interested?

It probably just means that the recruiter was asked to follow up with those who had yet to submit transcripts with spring semester grades. I wouldn't read anything into it.

Thanks! And sorry if that was unclear; I meant to say that the online grades included those from spring, it's just that our official transcripts aren't yet available. I found it interesting because in the emails I thought they said we didn't need to wait for official transcripts.

Can anyone speak to the work done in the San Francisco/Redwood Shores offices? Is it primarily patent litigation?

Both are very leanly staffed, and if I applied I'd want to avoid getting pigeonholed.

(incoming Quinn associate from upthread)

If you're interested in avoiding "getting pigeonholed" that's easy to do, but there is also so much patent work that it's probably not realistic to think you'll be 100% successful avoiding it either. Most associates at those offices are involved in at least 1 patent case at any give time - but most associates are also on 2-3 cases at a time, which means it's possible for the majority of your practice to be not patent-lit at those offices. Quinn has no groups, and work assignment is totally free market, so it's not unusual for the same SF/SV associate to simultaneously be on a patent case, a toxic tort case, and a contract dispute, all at the same time. There's plenty of gen lit, soft-IP, white collar, etc. in Nor Cal to go around.

Are you at a school that ranks its students? If so, they may want to see the "official transcript" because they are looking for the rank to be published (since most schools that rank will put the rank on official transcripts). That could explain why you're being asked for an official transcript.

Don't know if this is exactly the right place for this, but can anyone speak to whether Quinn hires many clerks who didn't summer there? And if so, what those clerks usually look like (feeder CoA preferred or a mix of people).

Nope, my school definitely doesn't rank students and I'm sure Quinn knows that.

My guess is a screen shot just didn't cut it.

A screen shot is kinda weird. PDF that shit, and then let them know what date your official will be released.

Median at CCN. No callback
They acknowledged that they received my materials and are looking it over. Given their selectivity as well as their short turnaround, I take this as a soft ding

When did you submit your materials?

Top 10-15% at Penn/UVA, no CB from DC. Submitted as soon as grades came out.

3.57 at CCN. Submitted my materials today to SV and got a response saying essentially the same thing about an hour later. I hadn't considered it a "soft ding" though...

Wouldn't mind even getting this email rather than the silent treatment.

What is QE's typical turnaround for CBs? Is it really less than a week?

Typical? Not sure. But CB email can come in less than 24 hours

Rough grades/school range for the DC callback anon above if you would not mind sharing?

I go to regional DC law school, behind GW and GULC if you know DC law schools. I finished in the top 1-5%, so that shouldn't be the issue. They said they would be in contacting this month. I guess interviewing all the GULC, GW, and T-14 schools before us meager folks.

Wondering, if I should send updated resume considering I've been accepted to GULC?

So did you accept GULC's offer? If so, then, yes, I would send an updated resume with your new law school.

But if you've just been accepted to GULC and you're going to take awhile to decide where or whether to transfer, I would not put an "offer to transfer" on a resume. It would seem weird.

About top 1/3 at DCN, any chance of CB for NY?

[SLS_AMG]

Did all of you with good grades at T14 schools go to their receptions? I wouldn't be surprised if that had an impact considering it's straight to CBs.

Has anyone gotten a CB at a location they're away from for the summer? Will they get you to come to the office you're interested in or just interview you at the other city's office?
