Welcome to the Law School Toolbox podcast. Today, we're talking with ex-BigLaw recruiter, Sadie Jones, about the processing of getting, or not getting, an offer at the end of your time as a summer associate. Tune in for some great information on how to end your summer successfully and navigate the offer process thoughtfully and respectfully.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The basics of the offer process and what it means for the future
• The possible outcomes and how to deal with them
• How to maximize your chances of getting an offer as the summer wraps up
• Things to do to make sure you end the summer on a positive note
• Sure-fire ways to put your offer in jeopardy
• What you can do if you sense a potential issue (a personality conflict, a not-so-great performance on an assignment, etc.)
• Cold offers: what does this mean and how can you move forward?
• Managing offers while applying for clerkships
• What are the repercussions of turning down an offer if you weren’t happy at the firm?
• Once you've accepted an offer, do 3L grades matter?
