How prestigious is your law firm?
One of the annual publications that we always find to be interesting/hilarious/overly-relied upon are the Vault law firm rankings.
Well…you can all breathe easy now as the 2009 Vault rankings were just published.
While there has been much written about the waning usefulness of the Vault rankings, they remain a guide for many law school students trying to decide which law firm they want to bless with their presence during the upcoming summer.
The crew at Chillable Hours is not a huge fan of using the Vault rankings for anything other than acting snobbish toward others and have actually logged a good chunk of hours over at ConsusRankings.com, which has a huge and incredibly helpful database of law firm and law school rankings.
The takeaways from this post - (1) if you work at Wachtell you are much better than if you work at Cravath, and (2) visit ConsusRankings.com if you really are looking for a helpful way to compare law firms and law schools.
