NALP Q
So I'm looking at the NALP listings for firms that I want to apply to for 1L summer (mass mailing). Some of the information seems odd. Should I take NALP's word for it, and not apply to firms that either 1. Say that they don't hire 1Ls, or 2. Seem to not hire SAs at all?

Re: NALP Q
If they say they don't hire 1L's take them at their word. If they say the hypothetically might, even though the NALP data shows they haven't done so in a while, they might be worth including in your mail merge

Re: NALP Q
Lots of firms respond that they don't hire 1L's, but have hired 1Ls for the past 2 years. I am sending applications to these firms.delusional wrote:So I'm looking at the NALP listings for firms that I want to apply to for 1L summer (mass mailing). Some of the information seems odd.

Your 2nd category tends to be very small offices of larger firms (just guessing). I would imagine these offices can't support a summer associate because they don't have the people to oversee them and/or the workflow to keep them busy. Probably not worth the effort to apply.
