Luce Forward Pink-Slips 2Ls and 3Ls
In addition to laying off 12 attorneys and 15 staff members, Luce Forward has also rescinded offers to incoming 3Ls and canceled the upcoming summer program.
The 200-attorney California-based law firm has confirmed to Above the Law that it is rescinding all offers to third-year law students who worked at Luce Forward in the summer of 2008, and has canceled the 2009 summer program. That, of course, will leave a number of second-year law students scrambling to find other summer jobs.
Luce Forward is among at least seven well-known law firms in the news today over layoffs and other cost-cutting measures that are impacting attorneys.
