For summer position?
Yes, hoping to get info on summer positions! Trying to figure out whether to hold out hope or accept a different offer
That's where I'm at too. Hoping to hear this week because otherwise I have to decide without hearing from them.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 11:05 pmNot yet, and I will be deciding on a firm by the end of the week.
Already splitting with DOJ, eliminating the possibility you suggest.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 11:36 amI went through the Susman callback process a few years ago, and I remember it took much longer than other firms to hear back.
But have they changed to doing a full summer program? When I did it, it was a four-week deal with no offer at the end, and it was assumed that you would spend the majority of the summer elsewhere. I don't see how this would affect your consideration of other offers.
Depends whether Susman is the only lit boutique you're considering doing a split with at the end of your summer.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 11:36 amI went through the Susman callback process a few years ago, and I remember it took much longer than other firms to hear back.

Good point.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 4:28 pmI somewhat suspect that not many summer associate decisions are being made in Houston this week
1L or 2L?
2L for Houston office. CB week before last, so they move slowly (also, TX is obviously having problems).
It's a short program so everyone splits between Susman and somewhere else. I would think the point is to get the experience and so that the summer will have a leg up when they apply later on.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 7:04 pmNot exactly related to movement, but if Susman doesn't hire right out of law school, what's the point of spending a summer with them? Is the idea that it'll give you a leg up when you reapply after an Art III clerkship? Are people who summer there that confident that they'll end up with an Art III clerkship and just planning years in advance?
