anyone have any luck finding entry level litigation positions?

I haven't had luck finding literally anything.

Patterson Belknap and a few other large law firms have litigation openings

Yeah, I mean, I posted about Morgan Lewis earlier, and they are hiring corporate 2022. Kutak Rock is also hiring 2021 grads for transactional. So are a lot of other firms - but you need to do your own research.

I heard Latham and Quinn are interviewing 3Ls, but it might be limited to IP.

lol not that I know of. That sounds exhausting though, good luck!

Received a callback for a V10. I massmailed and did not have a screener. I guess we are seeing some early movement.

Nice, good luck! When did you apply? And could you share school tier?

Thank you so much! T20, I sent the email late July but I just realized the firm also had a posting on my school's Symplicity page which I applied to at the end of June. No clue what prompted the invite.

Is that Gibson?

Ding from Skadden NY, and looks like Gibson NY will not be hiring 3Ls.

I have an apparent two hour "screener" next week, so you're not alone (V50).

Anyone know of any Bay Area firms that are hiring?

Figured I'd join in on this thread. It's incredibly hard out here. My sitch is, uh, impossibly tough. Barred in one state with no reciprocity, then found out shortly after passage that I was going to be living in another state due to family stuff... with 0 years of post-grad, actual "legal" experience.

Preparing for a screener next week. Participated in OCI and struck-out, and wondering if the screeners are any different as a 3L.

I struck out during OCI and had 3L interviews. Process was basically identical to OCI interviews. Good luck!

I did the thing! I got a job. Not comfortable sharing details but it's market paying (aka 205k)and I'm from a T14. After radio silence for months, I suddenly got about 5 screeners post graduation, 2 led to CBs, and one to an offer. I made it. There's hope yet, classes of 21 and 22!

In my experience, 3L/post grad screeners are much more to the point, especially if it's a smaller practice group. They want to know that you're interested in the work and can do it.

I had one screener that was an hour with 3 (three) partners. Brutal.

Congratulations on leaving the Vale!
Wow, I admire your persistence to keep applying post graduation. I’m honestly dreading going back to school and having classes with all my peers who have their post-grad careers settled. I hope the mass mailing will finally pay dividends
