What is the normal routine when a firm gives a permanent offer? Is it jus an oral offer, or is there some contract to the effect?
Does it depend if the firm is a NALP firm?

Re: Oral Offer
Do NOT get oral from a person at your firm. That's what MOTTLES N BAUBLES are for.

Re: Oral Offer
Most legal employment is at will unless you are a contract attorney.
For big law, you'll usually get a formal offer letter and some request to sign paperwork, despite the at will arrangement.

Re: Oral Offer
Generally, you'll hear about the offer orally first (either in person or over the phone) and then the firm will send you a written letter with some basic information (salary, how long it's held open for, practice group if applicable, etc.)
