If you came into law school focused exclusively on attaining an elite lit boutique job, what things would you do during law school other than crush grades? |

Date: September 7th, 2010 3:13 PM Author: shaky amethyst crotch jap 4 of the 5 "small elite" firms that I can come up with off the top of my head definitely hire summers, and usually more than one.
Susman (no quota) Gibbs & Bruns (at least two, probably more) Keker & Van Nest Beck Redden
Bartlit is one that doesn't, although they do occasionally take 3Ls in the summer before their clerkships.
The whole "waste of time" thought process is ridiculous. You never know unless you try.
