No Soup For You!
It turns out there is a food index to the legal job market: the worse 1L's prospects, the less likely the CDO will feed them lunch.
This thread is to channel the building speculation about why this spring's OCIP 'lunch talks' have been all talk and no lunch. Is the economy so bad we can no longer afford to buy disposable pans of cheap thai or boxes of greasy pizza? Is hiring so unlikely the CDO is using passive aggressive tactics to discourage attendance, perhaps on a sort of what-they-don't-know-can't-hurt-either-of-us theory?
Please. If our 1L's can't get jobs, then can't we at least feed them? We'd do it for Dean Prosser, and for that be-fanny packed, tooth grinding, book slamming "aumni" who sleeps on the couches in the back corner of the library. Surely we can do the same for the class of 2011.

As far as I can remember, the CDO doesn't serve lunch at any event unless it was sponsored by a firm or some other Berkeley Law source.
Maybe they should call them lunch TIME talks . . . With a little BYOL footnote.
And a BYOJ (bring your open job) footnote, too.
Patrick, you sure are whiny. Wah Wah Wah, why doesn't the CDO feed me. Wah Wah Wah, why doesn't the CDO get me a job. Wah Wah Wah, why does the CDO suck at clerkship placements. Wah Wah Wah. Lose the sense of entitlement dude. Just consider yourself lucky that the CDO manages to sucker law firms into the death-stench-filled-rooms of the Hotel Durant.
Meh.
amren, he didn't even go to the talk and he's right about boalt being stingy in the lunch department these days.
uh, cdo talks never provided lunch.
The comment above is correct- other sources sponsored CDO lunches, and that well has run dry.
As an alum, I'm glad the CDO doesn't provide lunches. Go buy a $5 burrito across the street dude.
As an alum, I'm glad the alum who wrote the previous post is a doo doo head.
