Those characters over at Above the Law have apparently capitalized on a NALP glitch that's allowed them to bring you an early sneak peak on that status of summer programs. ATL focuses on New York, and states that "overall 2Ls offers were down a whopping 20% at the top firms."
Check out the rest of their analysis, including news on Davis Polk, Skadden, Cravath, and Latham here.
I'll give replicating this glitch a shot, even though ATL was pretty shiesty with the (lack of) instructions. More later if I can figure it out.
UPDATE: Not sure what exactly the "glitch" was, but here's the numbers:
Firm Class Size/Year
Cravath NY: 160 (2008); 122 (2009)
Simpson Thacher NY: 110 (2008); 59 (2009)
DPW NY: 113 (2008); 110 (2009)
S&C NY: 137 (2008); 107 (2009)
Skadden NY: 103 (2008); 103 (2009)
Cleary NY: 94 (2008); 96 (2009)
Debevoise: 67 (2008); 109 (2009)
Paul Weiss: 89 (2008); 107 (2009)
Latham: 80 (2008); 26 (2009)
