Using Offers as Leverage in Other Market
So say I have an offer at a V10 firm in one market I am looking at. Can I use that as leverage to garner interest from other firms in a totally separate market, or will they not care because it isn't their market? The firm I have an offer at does have an office in this alternative (and more preferable) market, so maybe we could be vague and just use the firm name while not mentioning which office?

No. This is dumb. Apply to the firm you want to work at. If they don't give you an offer, telling them to have an offer in Chicago from a different firm isn't going to change their mind.

Re: Using Offers as Leverage in Other Market
How would you use another offer to get interest at another firm? If you're doing something like trying to bump up a clerkship bonus when you already have both offers that's something. But if you don't have an offer from Firm B yet, why do they care that you have an offer at Firm A? If anything it will just turn them off.
