By Lisa Pavia Senior Recruiter BCG Attorney Search, Washington, DC
Question:
What is going on with law firm hiring these days? Several of my friends have made lateral moves in the past couple of years and had multiple offers. My credentials and experience are as good or better. I have not been laid off, and I am a strong candidate. But I am not getting many interviews, and one firm I did meet with over a month ago says I am "under consideration" but has not made a decision. It has been weeks since I interviewed. What am I supposed to think?

It's harder to find good attorneys in...
Standing Out in the Crowd
By Stony Olsen
Times are grim in many ways for the legal industry. And that means lots of resumes are hitting desks.
InsideCounsel, one of the premier publications for general counsel, recently published some advice for sorting through that stack of resumes. This advice was directed to general counsel who are hiring.
Their conclusion? It's harder to find good attorneys in that stack of resumes because anyone good is not willing to jump ship in a time of economic uncertainty. The story also recommended taking a skeptical view of all resumes and applications and, thankfully for the job seeker, not letting HR do the initial screening.

It's bar exam week, and so this week we'll cover some of the great posts about the bar exam.
First of all, we all hope that this year there won't be bar exam controversies like the South Carolina debacle last year. Part of the bar exam was stricken and didn't count. We can also hope New York is on the ball after last year losing some exams due to a software crash.
