So... there are some people who'd be up for some hockey game going, I see?

This is true. But I view it as more a testimony to how we are but a blank canvas to be filled with wisdom at Michigan.

Or something.

So I just went and checked the list of offices that came to interview at Michigan last year, and there were exactly 11 in New England (10 in Boston, 1 in Hartford). None in northern New England (VT/NH/ME). But I guess that's what the New Hampshire Legal Jobs Fair is for, right? Please?

To compare, there were also 11 from Washington + Oregon (9/2), and 20 from Ohio.

When do 0Ls receive their schedules?

Fortunately I'm targeting Chicago... where there were 32 firms at Early Interview Week.

Hopefully everyone else is too (and NY and DC and anywhere that ISN'T New England)

I wish I was kidding when I say: I turned this into a spreadsheet, filtered for Chicago, and have started doing research on the firms.

Gotta keep my options open.

I have a word file of firms that take 1Ls and other things that looked interesting that Michigan students have done 1L summer but nothing more than that lol. I laso have a generic cover letter and resume done but still not on yalls level.

Haha.. I'm not doing research on the firms, but for anyone interested I put the list into excel and sorted it for firms and agencies in D.C. (including the IRS, which is listed as "Nationwide"). Exactly 50 out of the 403 employers were from D.C. Not a bad showing.

[thelaststraw05]

In the spirit of collegiality, here is the list sortable by city and state.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key ... y=CLaTyvYM

If I have time. (Ha). I will add starting pay, # of associates, # of equity partners, # of non-equity partners, and # of summer associates.

Yeah number of summer associates is the big one. Just trying not to be unemployed. I don't really want to be at a firm 1L summer but money is nice and I'm sure graduating with a job is too.

Truth.

Partner to Associate ratio is also key if you want to stay in the firm for any significant amount of time.

If there are fewer associates, it means a better chance to make partner (but a lower payout if you do).

Good point. I was suprised how much info Michigan actually had but was hidden by the log-in. I was mad using Harvard and Duke's websites for general info before

Ahhhh... gunning, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Okay now feel hopelessly behind because I've spent my free time this week playing Portal 2 instead of researching law firms. Maybe I should just withdraw now.

I work with excel spreadsheets on a regular basis. That spreadsheet took me 15 minutes.
