I haven't worked extensively with any partner at my firm, but I have worked extensively with a few senior associates. Does a clerkship LOR from a practicing attorney need to be from a partner, or will a senior associate's letter be just as effective?
Also, is submitting LORs from 2 profs and 1 attorney ok? Or should I do 2 attys and 1 prof?
Thanks

The general rule I think is to get someone that can speak profoundly about you and your work and not to get someone with a flashy title that can't say shit about you.

Agree.
Also, my firm had a rule that only partners could make recommendations. Not sure how common that is but you may want to look into it so you don't get the senior associate into any trouble.
