Probably Arnold because it's based in DC.

But this board is full of students. Go talk to some graduates.

Sidley has some really good appellate attorneys, while I don't think AP does.  So that is something to think about, although Sidley probably wouldn't let you have that work once you're an associate unless you've done a COA clerkship. 

That's sort of my impression as well, re: the COA clerkship as a requisite for immediate appellate work.  But I do know that 1st/2nd year associates work w/ people like Carter Phillips on major cases, so that is within the realm of possibility.  I myself am strongly leaning towards working at Sidley next summer...

 I used to work on the staff of Arnold and Porter. The firm treats their attorneys really well and they seem, for the most part, satisfied with their jobs. A lot of the associates and partners have been at the firm for a while. A&P's office in DC is the largest and the firm has an excellent reputation both in DC and outside as well.
