However, all of the profs I spoke with said basically there are two routes: 1) if you school has an account with expressO, then you can just hit every single law review with your article 2) if you're paying for it and have it be more circumspect, use the law journal rankings at http://lawlib.wlu.edu/lj/ to figure out which place might publish your stuff, where it is ranked, and where you should hit

Ersatz posted:Petey's advice is good. If you haven't published before, I'd add that it's a good idea to spam the article to as many journals as possible, even if you are paying for it. Imagine that you have a 1% shot on average of a journal picking up your article. Sending your article to 100 journals might cost the same as buying a casebook, but it's a much better investment. I'm the chief submissions editor for a secondary journal. I'll add that while spamming is good, if you aren't on topic to what the journal is about, I don't give you any real consideration. Also try to find journals that say on their website that they're open to student comments - it's hard enough getting published while still in school as any decent journal will be trying to get professors with a solid CV and not a rising 3L looking for that extra gold star, but some journals (and I'm not saying if mine is one or not) simply shut the door completely. It makes for a waste of time and money. You can often find out if it's worth it at all through their site. E: I'm gearing up to send work off myself if you want to pull resources. BTW, be thinking about submitting in late July/early August because that's when a lot of journals start to make the bulk of their offers. Most profs know to submit in early August since that's usually when whoever works selection gets back to it, but strategically it might be better to do late July and get an earlier offer before the rush. That's what I've been told by profs around here and what I'll be doing anyway. sigmachiev fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Apr 29, 2011 |

CmdrSmirnoff posted:The local law society is hosting some event called "Rockin' the Courthouse: Lawyers Rock for Lawyers Feed the Hungry" Having met a range of practitioners, I think it's safe to say that lawyers are generally the same people they were as 1Ls. Some are incredibly socially awkward (I'm looking at you, tax lawyers), some are total smarmy sleazeballs, some are raging assholes, some are still pursuing their writer/actor/singer dreams on the side, and some are just normal folks. Basically, take a look around you at the people you have met in law school. These are the same personalities that you will be working with for the rest of your life.

Start with cash-money writing contests if there are any that relate to your topic. Doing this allowed my article to be published in the Food & Drug Law Journal and net $4k.

I struggle with that issue a lot. On the one hand, I look much better in sharper dress and I do think people take me more seriously. On the other hand, I'm not the kind of person who naturally wears a suit every day, and I haven't the focus to put together a coherent wardrobe of snazzy clothes that I would need to assemble into a suit every morning. I imagine that once I get a job with a place that requires sharp dress, I'll just get used to it.

Longenecker This was just as funny the first time: quote:Here is a witness that requires the superskill of a trained cross-examiner to obtain results, for the average female witness is the most subtle, clever, enigma that was ever offered for analysis. Their motives for testifying are: ambition, interest, love, hate, jealousy, vindictiveness, rivalry, desire to be a sensation, anger, fear and many, many others.

Song law chat: As I was cleaning the kitchen, "I Fought The Law (And the Law Won)" came on and I happily sang along. Then I realized that I can't sing about fighting the law, because lawyers are part of the law. We possess the Jedi powers to change it, remake it as we see fit, how could we ever fight it? We are the law. So, basically, once you pass the bar, you can't sing along to tgis song anymore. yet another awful consequence of law school, sorry.

BigHead posted:Dear people who write motions: please refrain from calling the other side "absurd" in your pleadings. You are both represented by, like, eight law firms which you are paying a fortune for. Trust me, they've managed to not sound absurd in their complaint. If anyone is absurd, it's you with your dumb 50 page motion to dismiss that has a 0% chance of succeeding. Good luck on this - this is the equivalent of asking gamers not to call every player but themselves "noob."
