Bryan Cave LLP Perspective


Getting Hired

Tips from the inside

Insiders says that Bryan Cave’s favored candidates generally top law school grads. However a New  York contact reports that personality is a huge factor. “While, recent hires at Bryan Cave went to top law schools (Columbia, Harvard, NYU, etc.), the firm considers the fit and personality of candidates not just whether they were an editor of a journal,” says one source. However, don’t think you’re doomed if you didn’t take the predictable route to law.  A junior associate elaborates, “I was a full time employee and part time student and took an unconventional route to the firm and they welcomed me with open arms. They understood that my business knowledge was a greater asset than the pure legal education that most of my peers attained.”

Should I go to Law School?
My time working at a law firm really hasn't convinced me that most of what lawyers do, especially at the more junior levels, really requires much intellectual creativity at all. So, the first part of my question is: how fair do you think this assessment is?This first question is really a subsidiary to the larger question I'm mulling over: should I go to law school?
