I know you've said you tried applying for various state positions, but did you ever look into volunteering, for instance, with the OAG? They have a pretty open volunteer policy, and being a solid volunteer is a great way to jump to the front of the application line.

Solid Lizzie posted:They remind me of CALI but kiiiiind of a time suck. There is a real variance in terms of how long it takes to actually get through a lesson. When I first started, it was over an hour for ~18 questions. Now, I can go through a 18-question set in about 20-40 minutes. I don't know if that's just because I've moved away from the initial AMP subject matter (Real Property down here in VA), or if I'm just getting used to the "look at the 'get more info' outline ASAP and easily memorize from there" format, or both. What I'm saying is, is that it gets quicker. And is therefore more awesome than essays or lectures.

Is this forum considered media? What if I just link to the article on https://www.adn.com and call it "Tied For First Place Worst Crime Ever Committed?"

Is the VIP program at the OAG the right one for a licensed attorney who wants to volunteer? It looks geared toward students, so it's a bit hard to tell. Definitely willing to give it a shot. Thanks for the tip!

I had a friend who was all set on the path to be a DA, until she interned for a federal judge and saw her first kiddie porn case. Next day she was changing her fall course schedule to specialize in transactional.

Its all through the same coordinator, but yeah, I think the naming is divided up by interns (law students), clerks (graduated / waiting on bar), and volunteer attorneys. Looking at the site now - yeah, the VIP is the one you'd want to reference. Good luck!

Toddler rape is so common that a minor ESPN analyst celebrity with my first and last name was caught by the FBI arranging to do it and now that's what he's most famous for. So anybody who tries to criticize me for using my middle name as part of my professional name can go gently caress themselves. Starting my summer job today!

My first exposure to legal practice was interning at a family friend's law firm the summer before I started law school where I was doing research on a Brazilian child porn ring in support of a case of a now-adult woman who was suing Amazon to get an "artistic nudes" book pulled because she (as a 12-year-old) was on the cover. I do remember that there was some crossover involving the custodian of records being some with whoever was, at the time, behind MET-Art.

Soylent Pudding posted:There isn't a I knew a guy from my college, a former roommate of my friend's, who went to Syracuse Law and was all set to be a DA until he interned for a DA and got caught stealing the child porn evidence they had, leading to his expulsion and some kind of legal consequence, though I'm not sure what. Now he's apparently getting a master's in finance at Northeastern (NOT NORTHWESTERN), according to his non-friend public facebook profile. And no, people generally don't criticize me for using my middle name (but a couple have). It's also just a common name without the middle name and I think people usually pick that up. I want to be me, not hundreds of other guys. It's the whole reason I have a middle name in the first place. Putting just a middle initial like my dad does is pretty worthless, as proven by Arthur Miller the legal scholar. Nobody bothers using his middle initial even though he uses it in his name, so anybody who hasn't been in law school for several months thinks of the playwright when he comes up. It's almost completely pointless to use a middle initial rather than the full middle name. Though that might also be because when you use his middle initial, R, it can sound like you're saying "ArthARRRR Miller!"

Just embrace your e-anonymity granted by your shady name-bro. The good things about you won't come up in Google, but neither will bad things. If you are really worried, you can put "not that espn dick guy" in your cover letter. 2. have you considered being M. Faux Hawk?
