Since 12% of GSU students got a job with a firm of 100+ or a Fed clerkship in 2010, maybe, but probably not.swt wrote:is getting a job at a firm like Alston or King Spalding or Sutherland in play for top 25% at GSU Law?
Also only 15% got jobs in firms of 50+ and Fed. clerkships.

Thanks. How does this compare to Emory?rad lulz wrote:Since 12% of GSU students got a job with a firm of 100+ or a Fed clerkship in 2010, maybe, but probably not.swt wrote:is getting a job at a firm like Alston or King Spalding or Sutherland in play for top 25% at GSU Law?

I am considering throwing in a transfer app to Emory (from GSU) but not sure if that will make much difference.

Almost certainly not (perhaps exception for hard sciences).swt wrote:is getting a job at a firm like Alston or King Spalding or Sutherland in play for top 25% at GSU Law?

I heard (but have not confirmed) that K&S has not hired anyone from GSU in the last 3-4 years. They all pretty much require top 5-10%, maybe a little outside of that for a URM. You probably need law review too.

Re: Georgia State for Atlanta big law?
I'm bored so I just checked. There are six associates at the Atlanta office with JDs from Georgia State. They were all hired before 2009 - before the economy collapsed and the job market for law students changed completely.Anonymous User wrote:look thru their website

There is one associate at King and Spalding's Charlotte office who graduated from GSU more recently, though.
In contrast: at least four of the seven associates at the Atlanta office with JDs from Harvard were hired as/after the economy collapsed. I think it's safe to say that hiring practices have changed.
