Thanks for advertising your petty feud and letting us know that you're willing to overlook valuable sources of information just because you dislike their source.

Not a problem good sir

For all NALP firms, from all law schools:
2007 Callbacks: 60.0%

Yeah, I am suspicious of that info. Do firms bother tracking that?

Me too. 36.4% seems quite low. The 2008 percentage seems believable since many firms adjusted their hiring plans as the economy came crashing down, but given all the ways firms have tried to reduce expenses, I just can't see firms doing almost three callbacks for every person hired.

Although, I suppose that since there's less work now, attorneys will have more time to spend on interviewing students at callbacks.

Zing!

Personally I don't have any reason to doubt the data, I've just never seen the source.

I think it also is very school dependent. Seems like NYU and Columbia have much higher ratios than fordham. I know lots of students last year that had 5-10 callbacks at firms all over the vault rankings and received one or no offers. I have a friend that had 20+ callbacks and 2 offers. A callback means less in this economy. I bet firms offer similar numbers of callbacks as they always did and obviously offer rates are probably half of what they were so do the math.

http://www.nalp.org/uploads/PerspectivesonFallRec09.pdf - page 1 has data all the way back to 1995.

Page 15 has an even niftier breakdown by firm size, office size and region (it's 29.6% for firms with 100 or fewer attorneys, 40.8% for 700+, 27.5% in San Francisco, 60.5% in Houston etc.).

Nifty. Thanks, friend, this is interesting stuff. Appreciate the citation.
