These unexplained anomalies are a pity because there's clearly some kind of thinking about the bigger economic picture going on at Vault. One man who does seem to have understood it is the French journalist and novelist Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr. As he put it - "the more things change the more they remain the same." They clearly understand that idea over at Vault.

- 1. "Interesting! Is there something similar to Vault in India?". David, New York
- 2. "Perhaps you might have bothered to read Vault's methodology? The rankings are a pure function of the associate survey. To write, as you do, "according to Vault" or "Vault seems to view" etc. is to betray your ignorance of how the rankings work. ". Try Harder Next Time, NYC
- 3. "Umm.. do you do ANY research before posting? First of all, the figures at lawshucks are conjecture at best. Neither Cravath nor Sullivan have fired anyone. Second, even with the tanking economy firms like Cravath and Sullivan still have absurdly high profits, far higher than the DC "superstars" Third...Weil and Kirkland reaching the top 10 is a shame, and shows how dumb associates are who vote in Vault. A strong Bankruptcy department cannot support an entire firm, as is evidenced by Kirkland laying off a TON of associates nationwide over the past week, and Weil laying off associates, closing offices, and deferring entire classes. Get your facts straight.". J, New York
- 4. "I see that J and Try Harder Next Time appear to be experts in the field. If Mr. Know It All can enlighten us on the truth- that would be nice!". Harsh, Mumbai
