Are you referring to Petal Modeste's response to your question, which I summarize as follows: "They would not be interviewing you if they did not intend to hire you." It reminded me of one of the wrong answers in an LSAT logic games section.

I suspect that they could not tell us a lot of things because they don't want to burn bridges with certain firms. If they were completely transparent with us, it would have ended up on above the law tomorrow and the relationships that they are trying to re-build would be gone. From their reaction to some of our questions, it also felt as though they thought they were being attacked. I'm going to reserve judgment until I sit down with them on a one-on-one basis but after today, I'm a bit nervous about the entire process. -- AshleySimpson - 23 Apr 2010

Yea, I agree with Ashley and think that firm relationships are a valid concern.

Kal- I think I was referring to absurdity of the whole thing, especially when I stuck around for a while afterwards. They all got really antsy around me at the end and I was shocked at how defensive they were. They also knew that I am drunk on the Eben kool aid because his name came up pretty quick. Funny how they know Eben's arguments but don't think about how to actually incorporate them into their own approach. Though my question was maybe a slight shot across the bow, it wasn't so strange to ask if they had the numbers about who had been furloughed...

WHY IS IT CALLED THE OFFICE OF CAREER SERVICES????????? If it was the office of CAREER services, then Ilene and Ellen should be part of it too. The Meeting was crazy because they are soooooooo tone deaf. I think 1Ls deserve a little affirmation and some big-picture thinking too. BLAH.

I was also referring to Eben's characterization about the way the whole process is launched on the unsuspecting 1L. For the hour you sit in there, you forget that there are lawyers who work in other places than the law firm whose hires are 74% Kent Scholars.
