A friend of mine received a callback from a screener and already attended the callback. From what my friend said, it seems that they are nearing the end of their recruiting season.

I once settled a pretty bullshit sexual harassment case w/ them out of the Newark, NJ office. They settle/negotiate very amicably. I scored 18 K as a solo for a crap case with literally no proof whatsoever, and my impression was that it’s basically a typical settlement boiler room/insurance defense shop. They rep. a lot of the EPLI carriers in NJ, and almost every NJ EPLI policy worth it’s salt sends the cases put into suit out to them to defend.
The partner I dealt with in Newark as an adversary was a very, very nice guy, courteous & professional and didn’t make me feel like a schmuck for being a solo or anything like that. He even said they hated the particular carrier we were up against (they were pricks about his billing) and told me certain items they wanted to see to get me more $$$ and put the case to bed. So this firm might not be a good fit if you’re a gung-ho cutthroat, as they like to work & negotiate w/ plaintiffs and make these turd cases go away.
They also do P work themselves. I’ve had friends work doc review at their NYC digs and place is top notch. They always pay north of market to temps ($40 an hour for lawyers), but be aware that their P cases often settle before discovery so doc review there is kinda hit & miss. Still, not a bad shop to actually be an “associate,” for whatever it’s worth. Just my 2 cents.
A dear friend of mine summered there last summer and said that everyone got offers. Also, the firm has switched the callback format from 4 interviews to 8! I believe today and tomorrow are the final callback days. The firm is reportedly looking for people who live and breathe healthcare law. Most of last year summers were either people who had previously worked in the profession or are pursuing some kind of dual degree or health certificate program.
A friend of mine did a callback there and said she has not heard anything for over a week (CB was about a week ago). Apparently they are flying in 2Ls from all over–my friend said she was small-talking with kids from NYU and some school in Texas.
