career with is definitely one of the most
important decisions you'll make; and it's no
walk in the park either. When I started making
applications, I thought that if I attended all
the campus events, read all the statistics,

choice for me would become apparent. But
in reality, there's so much more to it than that.
It's not just about the stats and the publicity
a firm can get - lots of places can offer you
that. It was only when I looked past all that -
particularly the intangible quality of how the

the right choice.
First of all, Mayer Brown is really going
