Not sure about the answer to your specific question, but word on the street is that Morgan Lewis is not doing so hot right now, especially their general lit groups. They also no offered a large fraction of their summer class in 2012.

I would avoid.

Just wondering which school they cancelled OCI at.

Maybe they're trying to be conservative in preparation for a Bingham merger?

To failing law firms merging together to create a larger failing law firm? Sounds like a great idea.

I got an offer there and declined, so I would assume they are having a summer class this year.

Why would you say Morgan Lewis is failing, or not doing well? Is this type of information available?

I summered in the Philly office this past summer and still heard about your friend from people i knew in the NY office during our retreat in California. Your friend is infamous in the NY office. Coming into the office after 10:30am consistently, constantly drunk at events, missing deadlines, inappropriate comments....from what i know, everyone, including your friend, knew it was coming

This actually sheds a lot of light, bc it wasn't a real close friend so I hadn't heard everything.

Yea. We were all wondering about him during the summer. What did he end up doing afterwards? I honestly thought he blatantly ruined his chances because maybe he's really a PI/gov person and just worked the summer to get an easy $30k. But thats just an assumption

I am very sorry to derail, but how big of a problem is it to get drunk at social events? My impression is that when summers go out for dinner with associates it is fine to get drunk. I understand that was only part of why he might have been no offered. But I tend to drink a lot at social events. Would appreciate some guidance on what is appropriate.

drinking is fine, everyone does it and on some level I think they expect you to. The culture there definitely supports it as everyone is very friendly and familiar with each other, sometimes very informal but still professional. I myself always had multiple glasses of wine at every event, although there were one or 2 summers who always stuck to soda. The key is to not be a sloppy drunk. From what I heard, this guy was all over the place. And yes, aside from him that office had been 100% offers for the last few years. Although I think this year 1 person got no offered from there. idk why though.

High on your list based on what criteria? The only thing that should matter is 100% yield. Everything else is a distant second.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
