Cleary DC vs. Milbank NY

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Feb 17, 2021 2:10 pm

Hi - I'm going crazy trying to pick between Cleary in D.C. and Milbank in NY. I'm interested in litigation, but would like to try different things over the summer. I'm interested in working in the government long-term. I've lived in NYC before, but am pretty unfamiliar with D.C. Any advice would be useful!!

Litigation with goal of working in government...this is a landslide for Cleary DC.

Only pick Milbank if you want to do restructuring or some other niche that Milbank is good at. Cleary is in a totally different tier, especially for litigation.

Isn’t Cleary DC extremely antitrust focused? Doesn’t seem to be a good fit for a 2L who wants to explore broadly. Could you split your summer?
