[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am guessing you went to a mid-tier law school and are now gleeful about telling the Duke guy to "take a number". [/quote] Maybe. But I've seen the same thing, and I went to a T14 and did my federal appellate clerkship. There are some (not all) Biglaw people who have bought into the idea that they are amazing just by virtue of working at a Biglaw firm, when the reality is that they often have less practical and relevant experience than someone from the JAG Corps or the public defender's office. I had more trial responsibilities my first year as an Honors Attorney than my Biglaw friends got in a decade. We routinely get hundreds of applications for lateral openings, including many highly qualified people. Thinking you're a shoe-in is pretty much always delusional. [/quote] Be nice, some of them have handled hearings over discovery motions. How much more experience could you need? [/quote]
