Do biglaw firms hire during the summer after 3Ls have graduated? Should I keep looking while studying for the bar?

It happens. It's not frequent, but it happens.

Sorry to revive an old thread (doing some TLS research and stumbled upon it), but I received an offer this week. Graduated earlier this month.

It happened a surprising amount at my T30. I know someone who was ready to graduate unemployed, before getting a V30 offer on graduation day.

How important was your post-1L GPA, if you were to guess? Do you think anything else (experiences before and during law school, classes taken at law school) also played a significant role?

My post 1L grades were good, but not stellar (did not graduate with honors) - I don’t think my grades were what did it. It was a direct offer for a specific group, and I think they just need people. I did have a 2L SA at a peer firm.

what was the turnaround between callback and offer?

Don’t want to be too specific, but it was very fast.
