Top Law Schools

Like many lawyers, I am good at poker, but incredibly neurotic behind my face. Anyway, I was perusing ATL for rescinded offers, and saw some firms rescind offers. I was wondering how common this is. Would say deciding to drop a journal or a grade drop be grounds for rescinded offers? How common is it to offers have rescinded for economic reasons? Would you feel 100% secure that you're good once you have full time offers?

just going to bump this, rip my grades

Rescission will only happen for really dramatic events, either involving you (e.g., you fail out of law school, you get charged with a felony, etc.) or involving the firm (e.g., the firm collapses).

Barring any of the above, yes, you are secure. (Note that this really only applies to biglaw--smaller law firms are less predictable.)

OP anon, but not the anon who bumped it.

So if you don't fail or commit a felony, it's under 1%? I would do anything that was in accordance with the character and fitness guidelines regulating the honorable profession of legal practice, but that also carried catastrophic risk.... as long as the risk was below 1%.

What does this even mean?

Just don't kill/kidnap anyone or rob a bank. Or really commit any kind of violent crime. DUIs look bad, too. Just dont epic fail in the next few months and you'll prolly be gold.
