Announcement Reminders

New BigLaw Research Resource: Students now have access to Firm Prospects, the first and only law firm intelligence platform built by former attorneys from international law firms, management consultants, and data scientists. This very helpful site provides a thorough snapshot of biglaw firms and individual offices (including detailed breakdowns of practice areas). Firm Prospects allows you to gather information much more easily and quickly deep dive into law firms and offices. It also includes attrition data (where attorneys go after the firm) that is not easily found anywhere, attorney (and alumni) contact information, and information on firm clients. Create your own account using your UCI Law email address to register. Please contact your CDO counselor if you have any questions.
