(Editor’s note: Jones Day did not respond to our survey, but after publication, the firm contacted us to provide summer associate hiring data. Jones Day reports that it had 124 summer associates this year, a 40 percent decrease from its 206 summer associates in 2009.)

Law school students faced one of the roughest hiring seasons ever this summer, as firms cut their summer classes by an average of 44 percent, according to our Summer Hiring Survey. The 114 firms that responded to the survey hired an average of 31 summer associates this year, down from last year’s average of 55 associates.
