You might be wondering what HP thinks of the legal economy. Well, I think things are picking up. My recruiter friends are definitely busier and say even associate hiring is FINALLY improving. Will we return to the old days? Probably not, some things have changed long-term (like some firms canceling summer programs and just hiring laterals). But, it is good to see firms and organizations adding to their ranks.
Ok, just a short post, give me a holler in the comments and let me know what you think.

I'd be interested! Thanks!
Columbia/Chicago/NYU 2L without an offer here. HP, please let me know what I can do to help me end up in a firm after I graduate.
I read your blog while I was going through my whole 2L employment search. It was damn useful.
And I did in fact survive the 50% attrition rate of my summer class, so there's that.
Write on, I say.
Welcome back. I've missed your insights- I'm finishing 2L now, but I have been reading since well before I started law school.
So nice of you to bail when times were tough. Shouldn't expect anything less than you showing up now that things are looking up.
Yes please.
Please do! I started reading you when I was an 0L back in 2008. In two weeks I'll be graduating and heading to a big firm in a big city. I think you deserve a chunk of the credit for that, seeing as I followed almost all your advice, to the letter, during the interview process and during the summer. So please, come back, we need you in this economy!
I even have an idea for your first return post! How should former summers and now junior associates act when they return to the office? Is there a special code of conduct? Should we go office to office to everyone we previously worked with and say hey?
Welcome back, HP. :)
I have appreciated your past work, and I hope you'll take the time to start back up!
Start again, please. Your posts are great for getting a sense of the audience for law students looking to be hired.
