[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do you think the Yale, Harvard and Stanford grads go after their clerkships?  [b]Elite govt jobs are mostly a nonstarter right now,[/b] and there are only so many academic positions.  Most end up in BigLaw or comparable boutiques.[/quote]

Not true at DOJ, specifically OLC and not true White House general counsel’s office. Those have been, and continue to be “the elite law govt jobs”, as you put it.[/quote]

Pretty true at DOJ where my kid’s offer for the DOJ Honors Program - the traditional entry level gateway to a career at Justice - was one of the very first programs completely eliminated by DOGE

Threads about the current law school admissions process and legal job market are replete with antiquated info from middle aged people who have no idea what they’re talking about [/quote]

Many of us middle aged people are doing the hiring.

DOGE has destroyed federal hiring from top law schools for the forseeable future.  Yanking offers after the normal recruitment window is exceedingly bad.  We made a special effort to try and pick up some of these students but many of them gave up more lucrative opportunities to work for government and got screwed by the administration.  I don't know that they all landed on their feet.[/quote]
