totally not outing myself here, but my small summer firm in SoCal is interviewing several T14, top 10% grads tomorrow for a $15/hour part time clerk job. most of them were shitcanned by biglaw in 2008-2009.

we all know it is bad, but it's crazy to actually see NYU, etc. grads blanketing all the shitlaw firms in a huge legal market with no success.

Yea, I would imagine Deloitte alums would have a really hard time getting legal work especially given that Deloitte isn't a law firm. In other news, I have a friend with an MBA who got totally shut out of biglaw. Its rough out there guys!

Way to be a dick!

Any response to the Orrick situation? Also, Deloitte seems to do OCI at some law schools, so there's that.
Hah, yea. Sorry. These threads are just redundant - hence the stickied economy thread.

op said PART TIME CLERK JOBS in small firms.

HINT HINT: it does not require a legal degree.

It is really that bad. Just the other day I saw 10 guys from the Coutrywide Trading desk in socal that got shitcanned come out for commission only broker jobs that charged a FEE to get the job. guess what? they all paid the $1500. un-freakin-believable.

OP here...I encouraged my boss to take someone FT at $20/hr. Hopefully he will take my advice. Seems like a rotten deal to most of us but it might be a blessing for someone desperate.
