I saw the listings a few months back but seeing it on LinkedIn is actually crazy.

Will I get grandfathered in if my loan disbursed for my program in January 2026, but I paid it in full?

I'm in a 2-year program, and I took out loans for this first year, but I got a scholarship halfway through that I used to hurriedly pay off that loan, but now I'm worried that I won't get grandfathered status for the second year of my program because I paid in full already.

Does anyone have any info on being a BigLaw staff attorney?

Apparently it's a position that works 9-5 and gets paid slightly more than first year associates. Obviously no upward mobility or potential for partner, but for people who have no ambition to be partner and are already salivating at the first year pay (but dread the billable hours) this sounds like a dream.
