LinkedIn is of limited use. But what I really want to get a handle on is who's going where in a particular practice group within a handul of firms.

There has to be a central data clearinghouse tracking all this, no?

As far as tracking goes, Google News should pick up lateral movement as it happens (search your firm once a week, say, and you'll probably see nearly all of the departures and arrivals), but I'm not sure if there's a way to track movement over time.

Ha, I was typing almost the exact same thing. +1 to this.

EDIT: I assumed you are a student waiting to start at the firm trying to track this information.
