Not at Cravath unfortunately.

Not that easy to get into but your best bet is to do the LSE/UCL/King's-Columbia JD because that opens up doors to OCI at Columbia or even Wachtell (heard pre-recession bonuses meant 2x 180k USD)

Alternative is Oxbridge-Harvard LLM, but that depends on market factors and you will need to hustle with connections.

Cravath scale is across most of NY's top firms and sometimes globally, so you don't necessarily need to be at Cravath.

But be prepared to be a slave.
