The Sidley Summer Associate biter story is nuts....

[Anonymous]

This story about the Sidley biter is real. Not sure what to make of it..it's astounding that somebody with her academic background (Harvard/Northwester Law) could be so clueless - she was fired of course.

I don't think so. There is a story about it on Above the Law, which is usually accurate. https://abovethelaw.com/2025/07/summer-associates-naughty-toddler-impression-gets-her-bounced-from-biglaw/

Plus, a poster on Reddit--yeah, I know people sometimes make stuff up--said she did it during the Northwestern moot court competition.

I am curious about how she did it and why it went on so long.

I think it was meant as playful bite by some awkward person

How old are summer associates?

This screams of mental health issues. The individual needs psychiatric help. This is very impulsive behavior and is probably associated with hyperactive ADHD, but it goes further than that. Most impulsive people don't act on their impulses in such ways.

Biting people is not “a serious error in judgment”. It’s assault and battery.
