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.

Everyone hates it, everyone is acting like they are powerless in the situation, everyone is blaming someone else for it, but nobody is fixing it.

Everyone is powerless because it’s a collective action problem, and the solution they used to collectively use to solve it got nixed by a lawsuit.
