Ugh, don't even joke about this. I have accepted an offer from my top choice, a total reach, and I'm now irrationally nervous that something will go terribly wrong between now and May.

EXACTLY EXACTLY what i'm going through right now after accepting an offer at a total reach firm. i think its because the oci process and everything has been building up for so long (since beginning of 1L year really) that once we actually get offers (esp. from a top choice) its hard to believe that the whole SA position search process is actually over and done.

Hmm, I think it's probably more common than you might think. Law students are a cutthroat bunch and scheming on a thing that's a mirage, I'm tryin to tell you now it's sabotage.

Yes, this exactly. I feel like things are so anti-climactic!

My question, why would this even work in the first place?

Okay, if you're like forwarding an e-mail written by the person in question, I guess it could. And if that's the case then you (the person who wrote the e-mail) are partly to blame too.

But if someone were to anonymously call a firm and say something negative about a potential SA hire? Why would the firm care? It'd be a pretty crappy firm that trusted an anonymous source over their own hire. Not only would the be a smidge paranoid, but they'd also be saying they do not have confidence in their own evaluation and hiring process.

anyone ever hear of people sabotaging their classmates?? i.e. calling firms anonymously, etc.

You mean like the girl from HLS who forwarded a personal and controversial/racist emails to the firm & CoA judge that the other girl had offers for?

pretty sure you're completely mischaracterizing what happened.

The UVA admissions director stated that there were multiple attempts to sabotage applications, so I wouldn't be surprised if law students attempt to sabotage others by calling their firms. We're a crazy bunch of people. That said, I doubt a law student has ever successfully caused another to lose his or her offer due to this.
