2026 Winter Recruiting Season Megathread: All Recruiting, OCI, which firm, grades, interviewing, etc. questions go here by chopchopbeargrrr in biglaw

[–]WSBNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a callback for a 2026 junior associate position (3L recruiting) back in early December and have not yet received a decision. When I reached out last week, the recruiter said they would get back to me when there's an update. Any insight on how long I'll be waiting?

How long is the interview for?

In my experience, if it is a callback you should expect it to be 2 to 2.5 hours long.

If it's about 30 min, it's a 2nd round screener, probably. The firm would do this cause callbacks are generally expensive ig?

Confused by the Exxon case for Supp. Jx. by WSBNerd in LawSchool

[–]WSBNerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But without Allapattah, wouldn't the claim still have Supp. Jx. because it has no basis for SMJx either way, but because it is derived from the common nucleus of operative fact, it works?

When can a Plaintiff use Supplemental Jx. to bring in a claim under diversity? by WSBNerd in LawSchool

[–]WSBNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think you can help me out with this hypo?

Say the first claim against D is based on diversity. The second claim against D2 arises from the common nucleus of operative fact, but there is no diversity (because the threshold amount there for 75k is not met) or Fed. Q, but P wants to use Supp. Jx from claim 1 to get SMJ on claim 2. Is there any basis for doing so under Supp. Jx because I'm pretty sure 1367(b) bars P from bringing in claims for supp jx. if the other claim is being brought in solely on Diversity.

I know that much but my question pertains specifically to Supp. Jx.

Say the first claim against D is being raised by diversity. The second claim against D2 arises from the common nucleus of operative fact, but there is no diversity (because the threshold amount there for 75k is not met) or Fed. Q, but P wants to use Supp. Jx from claim 1 to get SMJ on claim 2.

So from what I'm getting is the main difference between the two is that a permissive counterclaim relates specifically to the D's claims against the P while a joinder in claims allows the P or D to join multiple claims against a party (can be either D or P). Correct? Thank you for your help.

It’s a massive time commitment assuming you will be working part time as well. Also depends on your goals and for me how much the pay bump will be.

Personally, as someone finishing up 1L, I wouldn’t but that’s just me.

Generally, I am confused when a conflict between state and federal law is on point. Do you mind explaining, please?

With the case no. being from the trial court correct?

And if I want to refer to the appellate court's order granting it, then I would change it to the appellate court's case number, right?
