20 weeks paid and can add your vacation days but that doesn’t prorate for bonus calculation like the rest of mat leave

Vinson Elkins does 18 weeks for primary, 9 for secondary. They prorate bonus hours and $ amount. I know Shearman does 22 for primary (not sure if they make a distinction with secondary), and I believe Orrick does 24 weeks. Not sure about the details for Shearman and Orrick bonuses though.

One student told me that she took chemistry last year, and in 10 minute I was able to connect all of the pieces that never made any sense to her. Her 'aha's moment was like candy to me.
