A friend of mine has a brother who went to T14 law school. He got a biglaw job but due to downsizing (i think) he got laid off after a year.
What happens when you get laid off from a biglaw job (due to no fault of your own) and you work there for only a year (or less)?
Since companies don't hire third years, I'm guessing they won't be willing to hire graduates...?

The average first year associate has almost no marketable skills and biglaw is almost certainly out. I know a lot of people who got LaTTTham'ed after around 6 months. Most never recovered and are currently working temp/doc review jobs. If this happens to you, you're screwed.

why don't you ask the thousands of people who this happened to in 2009 who are still out of work.
