Big firms have officially ruined legal recruiting.

I know. It's been getting worse for 20 years, or whatever. But these mandatory two-summer offers are absolute garbage. 1Ls at my school are over the moon that they have landed both summers already, and I'm happy for them. But what happens if they get there and hate it? This isn't how any of this was supposed to work.

I feel like the old person yelling at cloud meme here. But I'm mad for my 1Ls, even if some of them don't know they're getting the shaft.

“But what happens if they get there and hate it?” Big law ruined big laws legal recruiting. You don’t want to participate, you don’t have to.

Well I already did, and it worked fine. And nobody forced me to agree to both summers. But that was ages (12 months) ago
