I'd generally agree, but if em used a personal connection of any value, that might not be the best route. Stall them as much as you can while you do the other interviews. See if there's a way not to start immediately. If biglaw comes through, you can decline acceptance. At least that way, you don't cause them to go to the expense of having you start and you don't appear to be a quitter. It's simply that a better offer came along.
Are they holding a position for you, while another person twists in the wind?
Of course, if your personall connection is irrelevant, do as Heisman suggests.
