Seriously, just email the recruiting people and ask. That is what they are there for, and it in no way has any implications for your candidacy.

This. Call and ask. I had to do the same thing with another firm. I called and asked if there was a lunch. They said there was and I cancelled it. No attorney was aware either way.

Stroock associate here. We sometimes do lunch, but usually not. It's on a case by case basis.

Not a question I ask to candidates. I think it's stupid- most firms are the same from the perspective of a 2L. If it is asked, just pick out something specific to the firm such as the strong real estate group or smaller size compared to other Biglaw firms.

What's the case that calls for lunch, if you don't mind sharing?

I think if the interviewee inquires, but not really sure.

I agree. What would you pick out from Stroock?
