Opportunities . . . Unless You're a TTT J.D.

Exciting Opportunities at Jones Day are Available, but not for you TTT J.D.:

Cleveland Office - "Candidate should have large law firm experience, be used to working in a team atmosphere and have excellent academic credentials."

Dallas Office - "Candidate should have large large law firm experience and excellent academic credentials."

Irvine Office - "Excellent academic credentials . . . are required."

San Diego Office - need "experience in a large or sophisticated mid-size law firm with excellent academic credentials."

See http://www.jonesday.com/careers

How does one acquire large law firm experience if large law firms don't hire TTT J.D.s?

I suspect excellent academic credentials doesn't include Top 15% TTT J.D.s.

However, if you're 1st Tier and lower 50%, you might get lucky.
