HooKars: Feb 22, 2006; Comeon!

I feel like its been a good solid week of not complaining about my job and that needs to change. This is my last week of freedom before our next "lockdown" - which is the term affectionately used to describe a deal closing in my department because you never leave the office. Lockdown is scheduled to last 3 weeks but everyone is sure the deal will actually take longer. I am so excited to go back to my work schedule of 8:30 am - 1 am!

And my reward once it's all over? A "Law Firm Prom" on the Saturday of my birthday weekend that I have already been told by a partner is mandatory to go to. Sure - in between working all those hours, I will happily find time to waste $300 on a floor length gown. And I'm sure the guy I'm casually seeing will still be around after my 3 week lockdown and would love to rent a tux and be my date for a prom I can't even get completely hammered at. Wouldn't it have been awesome if instead of Law Firm Prom, we got spring bonuses? No, of course not, that would have been terrible.

There is nothing good about my job.

One of my fellow 3Ls has a question about tax LLMs. Like most of our class, his job prospects are not so hot right now. He fell in love with tax while in law school and is seriously considering getting a tax LLM.

I told him what little I know - basically that you should only go to NYU, Georgetown or Florida (if at all possible). He had a couple questions that I had no idea about, so I figured I'd ask here (I know we have at least one tax LLM in the audience):

1. Realistically, will a tax LLM even help him? He is graduting in top 1/3 or 1/4 of his class at Lewis & Clark (ranked mid-60s), managing editor on law review, and A/A- in tax classes taken. He has no illusions about where he is, and doesn't want to just throw more money down the hole if it won't change anything. Will a tax LLM help at all on top of those law school stats?

2. How strict is the "go to NYU/Georgetown/Florida or die" mantra? Does ranking matter as much in the world of tax LLMs as it does in the world of law schools generally? Or is one or two outside the "top" (whatever the hell that would be) still worth something?

1. Before the last few years he was the prototypical person that a tax LLM would help and is pretty much the exact profile of the type of person getting an NYU LLM (don't know the others.) That might not be the case now; I'm pretty sure the recession completely destroyed those OCIs. But with NY BIGLAW recovering I think it's worth a shot.

2. I'm not even sure Florida should be on that list, tbh. Regardless, all other LLMs seem equally terrible if you went to a US law school.

Thanks for the response. I think that's about what he's expecting. A big downside is that it's apparently too late for this round of applications (so he says, I haven't looked at all), which means finding something to do for a year.

I only listed Florida because it has been in the OP for ages.

He would be very proud of himself if he won the election but absent outside assistance will probably come in last. So I think it would be funny if he did win, and then thought he was awesome for doing so, when really it's not like that at all.

Also it's customary for 3Ls to not be on boards because you're moving aside for the class below you, but he wouldn't be doing that if he won. So it'd be even more awkward.

We have an honor code but this isn't covered because 1) it's stupid and really isn't related to academics at all, which is what the honor code focuses on 2) student organizations are largely self-regulating (and apparently the way they've decided to do this is to have an open, anonymous poll).

So you�ve received all kinds of career advice and support from your mentor, but you�re still not reaching the top? According to Catalyst�a nonprofit organization focusing on women in the workplace�the missing link to your career success may be sponsorship. At this week�s Women�s Leadership Conference hosted by the Conference Board in New York City, Jan Combopiano and Michael Chamberlain of Catalyst addressed the issue in a presentation titled Sponsorship: Is it a Prerequisite to Drive Career Advancement? The short answer to that question is yes, and men are reaping the career benefits of sponsorship, while women are often left sponsor-less.

So what should companies and leaders do to ensure that sponsorship crosses gender lines? Check out these five lessons from Ms. Combopiano and Mr. Chamberlain�s session.

...

4. Men Are an Important Part of the Conversation

Speaking of men, they are critical to growing sponsorship of women. �Men are very important to women�s advancement,� says Ms. Combopiano. "It�s about leadership, and it�s about men being part of the solution,� she says. Most high-level positions are held by men; therefore, they form the majority of the sponsor pool. �If we�re gonna make change, we really need to engage those men at the top," says Ms. Combopiano.

And the title of the e-mail from them read "Lady Lawyers, You Need Men"

What is the Berkman Center for Internet & Society?

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society is a research center founded at Harvard Law School in 1997. Now a university-wide center, it serves as the locus for a network of Harvard and other faculty, students, fellows, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and others working to identify and engage with the challenges and opportunities presented by the Internet. The Center is devoted to research and teaching on issues at the intersection of emerging technologies, law, public policy, industry, and education and to the development of dynamic approaches and rigorous scholarship that can affect and support the public interest.

The Berkman Center has been at the forefront of efforts to study and facilitate online expression, including, among other initiatives: publishing Media Re:public, a series of papers exploring the potential and the challenges of the emerging networked digital media environment; launching Global Voices Online, a nonprofit that aggregates and disseminates the views expressed in blogs throughout the world; and hosting the Blogging, Journalism, and Credibility Conference, which brought together professional journalists, bloggers, news executives, media scholars, and lawyers to study the emerging media environment on the Internet.

What does the Digital Media Law Project do?

The Digital Media Law Project (DMLP) works to ensure that individuals and organizations involved in online journalism and digital media have access to the legal resources, education, and help that they need to thrive. The DMLP, which began operations as the �Citizen Media Law Project� in May 2007, focuses its work on three broad areas: legal education and training; litigation and pro bono legal services; and the collection and analysis of legal threats facing online speakers and publishers. The DMLP endeavors to serve as a catalyst for creative thinking about the intersection of law and journalism on the Internet. Through the project�s website, https://www.dmlp.org the active engagement of lawyers and scholars, and occasional sponsored conferences, project staff are working to build a community of lawyers, academics, and others who are interested in supporting innovative journalism ventures and protecting the legal rights of those engaged in speech on the Internet.

A central aim of the DMLP is to provide practical knowledge and legal assistance for online media. This includes providing pro bono legal assistance to new journalism ventures and other independent online publishers on a diverse range of topics, including business formation and governance, copyright licensing and fair use, employment and freelancer agreements, pre-publication review of content, and representation in litigation. In January 2010, DMLP launched a pro bono legal referral network called the a Online Media Legal Network comprised of law school clinics, in-house legal counsel, and individual lawyers across the United States who provide free and low-cost legal assistance to online journalism ventures and other digital media creators.

DMLP also has filed and participated in amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs in cases raising important First Amendment and intellectual property issues, including:

Maxon v. Ottawa Publ'g Co., No. 2008-MR-125 (Ill. App. Ct. Mar. 24, 2009). We submitted a brief urging an Illinois appellate court to protect the rights of anonymous Internet speakers by imposing important procedural safeguards before ordering disclosure of their identities.

Barnes v. Yahoo! Inc., No. 05-36189 (9th Cir. May 21, 2009). We joined Public Citizen, the Center for Democracy and Technology, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation in asking the court to amend its opinion to omit dicta indicating that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act cannot be raised on a motion to dismiss, as well as to clarify that Section 230 applies to federal as well as state law claims.

The Mortgage Specialists, Inc. v. Implode-Explode Heavy Industries, Inc., No. 2009-0262 (N.H. June 22, 2009). We joined forces with the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press to submit a brief urging the New Hampshire Supreme Court to defend the First Amendment rights of a website that covers news about the mortgage industry and to apply New Hampshire's qualified reporter's privilege to online news publishers.

Fustolo v. Hollander, No. SJC-10485 (Mass. Oct. 1, 2009). We joined the ACLU of Massachusetts and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law of the Boston Bar Association in submitting a brief arguing that the Massachusetts anti-SLAPP statute applies to all parties who engage in petitioning activities, including members of the news media and paid staff of advocacy organizations.

Wright Development Group LLC v. Walsh, No. 08-2783 (Ill. Mar. 3, 2010). We submitted a brief to the Illinois Supreme Court urging the court to reject two lower courts� narrow interpretations of the state�s Anti-SLAPP statute, known as the Citizen Participation Act.

Barclays Capital Inc. v. Theflyonthewall.com, Inc., 10-1372-CV (2d Cir. June 21, 2010). We joined EFF and Public Citizen to submit a brief to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals urging the court to apply First Amendment scrutiny to the �hot news misappropriation� doctrine.
