I actually put thought into the question until I realized…

Are they even hiring? They just went through some large layoffs...

I don't think there is any GPA cutoff. I've interviewed multiple prospective hires and have never been told that there is.

The law school or the law firm ?

3.3 GPA is usually the cut off. Doesn’t matter on school.

Cooley’s cut off is much higher than that. I’ve seen 3.6s not qualifying depending on the school.

Yes there definitely is if a lower ranked school. I have had instances where personal referrals wouldn’t get past first step for a mid-level if GPA wasn’t top10% at lower school. But I would apply anyway because if someone misses it then they won’t look down the line once you have interviewed.

I had several initial calls from personal referrals at Cooley but never heard back after sending transcripts. Top law school fwiw. Now up for partner at another V30.

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.
