Also forgot Katten. Pays market (unlike McD) and took 18 summers this year.

Fucking forgot Mayer. Good call. Skadden is... well, it's Skadden.

Everything I've found on Vault etc is about their NYC office. Know the particulars of the Chicago office?

Selective. Branch office. Hours slave.

Help me out with what I am missing, guys. And you are right on Katten, LtK

Because he asked for help and you're not a douche? Right?

Thoughts on the new Dean?

Wow it seems you're right. News to me.

Thoughts on the new Dean?

Not really. I'm smarting over the loss of Epstein more than I am the loss of the last Dean.

Thank you. If it makes you feel any better - I am a hick from the sticks transferring from an SEC school, so I'm bound to blow my interviews anyway.

Be humble and nice in interviews. Don't have an erection bigger than the person you are interviewing. Do these things and collect win.

If you are interviewing against other Chi kids, this will probably be endearing and not a negative.

Thoughts on the new Dean?

I like him. He seems like a very intelligent guy with a lot of experience. He also seems to keep an eye on the law school community and not just legal academia (based on some articles he has written) and that makes me more confident that he can be a Dean, not just an academic. I thought he was MUCH better than the original candidates that did not work out.

Is he going to get us into the top 10?

Has he given any hint to how he views what NU is currently doing with admission? I.e. WE, accepts sub 3.0, etc.

I didn't go to the forum with the students that would have keyed me into that information so I don't know.

If anyone does care, he was asked this question and basically said NU's problem is the reputation scores. And he is 100% correct.

Of course it matters! This is TLS! I want to see a new tier "MVNP."

You might, but that N is more likely to be NYU than NU.

Damn, good point.

You can have a dean that worries about USNews Rankings. I'll take a Dean that worries about getting me a jerb.

NYU is on a downward tumble?

No. You see my point, then?

That was DVZ's focus, wasn't it? The whole Plan 2008 stuff? It seemed like part of the problem was he focused too much on employers and our reputation suffered.

He focused on a plan that would get students jobs - which is the point of a professional school. How is that a bad thing again?
