Date: April 12th, 2015 4:43 PM Author: diverse shimmering indian lodge reading party One other thing that makes Williams & Connolly unusual, if not old-fashioned, is that the firm does not accept "lateral" partners. In the bigmoney lawyer world of today, attorneys move around like free-agent baseball players whose contracts have expired. No matter that you have spent the first twenty years of your life in an institution that gave you a chance, nurtured you, showered money and benefits on you. That's all so yesterday, except at Williams & Connolly. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2853724&forum_id=2#27677403) |

Mr. Shanmugam joined Williams & Connolly in 2008 after serving as an Assistant to the Solicitor General in the Department of Justice. He was the first lawyer to join the firm directly as a partner for 22 years. Born and raised in Lawrence, Kansas, he received his A.B. summa cum laude from Harvard College in 1993; his M. Litt. from the University of Oxford, where he was a Marshall Scholar; and his J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, where he was executive editor of the Harvard Law Review. He clerked for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and for Judge J. Michael Luttig on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

Date: April 12th, 2015 4:58 PM Author: Red Stimulating Cruise Ship I wish. Biglaw grind. I'm far more impressed by a successful shitlaw solo king with no boss, building his own successful business, making biglaw partner money, than by some biglaw partner grinder doing paperwork at 11:00 on a Saturday night who will be long forgotten 5 days after he retires.
Try to make a mark on this world. Try to build something. Anyone with a servile attitude and a dogmatic attention to detail can do 4.0 UG Poli Sci-> T14 -> Biglaw firm -> service partner. It's not impressive. I'm only impressed by those who have built something for themselves. |

Date: April 12th, 2015 5:10 PM Author: Red Stimulating Cruise Ship I would love to lateral to a small PI shop that handles decent cases (not a car accident mill) and learn the practice for 2-3 years, then become a solo PI trial attorney. Very hard to get hired by these firms coming from biglaw though. They want ex prosecutors or insurance defense types. Biglaw gives you plenty of exit opportunities, but they're all office-monkey type jobs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2853724&forum_id=2#27677643) |
