The lead from the blog’s report just about says it all:

“Law school students faced one of the roughest hiring seasons ever this summer, as firms cut their summer classes by an average of 44 percent.”

But via bullet-points, let us further enumerate the carnage:

  • Skadden’s hired only 79 summer associated this year, down from 223 last year;
  • Cravath’s summer class shrank by 81 percent;
  • Ballard Spahr cut its summer program entirely.
