That's pretty crazy, do y'all expect to be hired by your firms after you finish law school?

It really comes down to the school you go to and your first year grades. I've already been asked if I would return as a 1L summer associate after getting into a t10 school, but even that isn't a guarantee. The money (35k :0) will be hard to turn down but I really want to do some government work and see the other side.
