I love going back to my alma matter Vanderbilt University Law School to recruit some of the the best law students in the country! A couple of words of wisdom that I share with current Vandy law students: 1. Make time to know your classmates. Law school is tough, but say yes to Bar Review, Blackacre, intramurals, and the tailgates. Our law school class is small for a reason. I love that my co-counsel for a major DOJ investigation I recently handled were the guys I played softball and went to Bar Review with. 2. Learn the Saturday night set list for the Stage/Winners/Tin Roof. It's a lot more fun to hit the honky tonks when you can sing along! 3. Remember your legal career isn't linear and there are different paths to achieve your goals.

Law firm merger mania continues unabated and is a world-wide phenomena. Kristin Stark, a principal at Fairfax Associates, attributes the frenzy to client pressure and the difficulty for firms outside of the Am Law 50 to grow via lateral activity, without getting dented by attrition.
