Welcoming the Newest Top-10 Law Firm Ranking of US

Like many a competitive soul, we at the Law Blog love rankings. There’s hardly a top-10 list we don’t like. (Click here, here and here for other recent posts extolling law-related rankings.)
So, we are more than a bit jazzed to learn about a new ranking of the Top 10 Law Firm Summer Associate Programs, courtesy of the folks at Vault.com.
Between February and April, Vault surveyed about 16,000 law firm associates from 166 law firms across the country, asking them such questions as which firms offered the best work experience, which provided the most realistic view of what it would be like to work at the firm, and which programs were the most fun.
The winners?
1.  Fish & Richardson
2.  Baker & Hostetler
3.  Cravath, Swaine & Moore
4.  Williams & Connolly
5.  Arent Fox
6.  Baker & McKenzie
7.  Dewey & LeBoeuf / Ropes & Gray (tie)
8.  Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton
9.  Chadbourne & Parke
10. Venable
As you can tell, there are actually 11 firms in the “top-10,”.
Vault also released a separate top-5 ranking of the firms that offered summer associates the most fun. Vault’s fun firms are:
1. Ropes & Gray 2. Weil, Gotshal & Manges 3. Alston & Bird 4. Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner 5. Schulte Roth & Zabel
