Earlier this year I blogged about Wilson Sonsini building teams by milking goats. For some
reason, I thought of goats when I read in Above the Law about the firm's shocking ineptness in delivering the rejection message to applicants. In Public Humiliation, Courtesy of Your Friends at Wilson Sonsini we learn that the rejections were delivered via e-mail (tacky enough) and that the rejection e-mail had the addresses of all receiving it in the "To" box, not the "Bcc" box!
Note (added August 24, 2007, 5:25 PM Mountain): Speaking of Above the Law, make sure that you don't miss the saga of ATL's not-a-theme-song dispute with Nixon Peabody. I am betting it is not over (good luck, David) but you can catch up to the current chapter by reading Nixon Peabody: This Is Not a Love Theme Song in which David Lat recounts his conversations with representatives from NP, and Nixon Peabody ThemeSongGate: A Linkwrap. I think NP should post that zippy little ditty right on their Web site; the song is so, so, so cute.
Vote over at The Volokh Conspiracy as to how Nixon Peabody should handle this matter of their song. Voting numbers are approaching 1,000.
Note (added August 26, 2007, 3:05 PM Mountain): Hear Everyone's A Winner at Nixon Peabody. Lyrics to the Nixon Peabody song. Both courtesy of Above the Law.
Note (added August 27, 2007, 12:50 PM Mountain): The Nixon Peabody story is now in The New York Times: "Unauthorized Enjoyment of Song Irks Law Firm." Looks like the firm is moving on. Their released statement quoted in the article:
“This song was put together for a celebration. We were having some fun with it and now some other people are having fun with it. We’re moving on and focusing on being a great place to work and doing great work for our clients.”
Another story gets old and dies. I would label this death rather graceful.
