[QUOTE="B1806, post: 43978, member: 4406"] Surely the presence of on-campus interviews does offer a massive advantage, no? The ABA statistics CLS puts out seem to indicate an overwhelming majority of their graduates secure positions at law firms with 500+ employees. LinkedIn also seems to show a similar picture, so I'm assuming there's something to the institutional factor. I get that correlation =/=causation, but the numbers are quite frankly massive and I don't think that [I]everyone [/I]at Columbia is just that much better than graduates elsewhere. I don't think anything in the world is really guaranteed per se, but surely CLS would give me a reasonably good chance (especially considering US firms tend to put a lot more weight on applicants' institutions than UK firms, which tend to be more meritocratic), no? That's interesting. Do you by any chance know of any specific firms that do those sorts of schemes? I think Simmons & Simmons does a placement year but I'd need to be on a course that requires a year in industry to do that. Or is this typically offered by smaller firms (i.e. not the ones usually featured on Chambers Student or Legalcheek)? If so, I'll definitely try to get something over the summer!
