Did this office no-offer/defer half its summer class as reported on Weil?
Are those kids back at Weil now? Does anyone know what the deal is with this office?

Re: NALP data @ Weil redwood shores
What further information are you looking for? Based on the information provided on the NALP form, this office extended permanent offers to roughly one-half of the students who worked there as 2L SA's. It seems as if this office grossly overestimated its hiring needs.
If I were considering an offer with this firm, I would make damn sure I knew what happened here before accepting.

I agree that the offer rate is scary there.
I was there two weeks ago. Few people could people could give me a reason for the low offer rate (obviously the economy but I also heard performance was the reason behind the low offer rates-- come on).
Even scarier was that some people refused to acknowledge that the offer rate was even low.

Re: NALP data @ Weil redwood shores
At the screeners, Weil Redwood Shores people outright told me that the office there had gotten too large and they were figuring it would get smaller soon. (They said the same thing about New York as well.) I suppose the honesty was nice...

The NALP data for that office is crazy. The office has 70 attorneys and took 23 SAs in 2009. Wilson Sonsini Palo Alto has 375 attorneys and took 31!Anonymous User wrote:to the anon above, these interviewers who told you that the office is overgrown, were the corp or ip lit (powers) group?

Re: NALP data @ Weil redwood shores
Exactly, but strangely, Weil is still the recommended place for IP lit, a tier above the rest (Mofo, Orrick, Fenwick, etc.) - it gets described as the single best go-to place for IP in the area.rayiner wrote:The NALP data for that office is crazy.
