My Torts final was uncharacteristically free of funny stuff (this teacher, in previous years, wrote about Cookie Conster crashing her car due to spilling Drunken Donuts coffee.) So I made up for it by namedropping Steven Seagal and speculating that an untaken precaution might be checking Facebook not on the same question mind you

so in light of last semester's round of P's, I've been talking in class more, outlining from day one, things like that straight P's again (also, I attended the arraignment of that one girl who got punched by the Seattle PD)

Law360, New York (July 15, 2010) -- After abandoning the model briefly during the recession, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP has become the third major law firm in recent weeks to announce it will revert back to a lockstep associate salary structure in 2011, and legal industry experts expect more firms to follow suit. well that sounds pretty-- quote:While associate pay structures may have changed as firms struggled to stay profitable during the economic downturn, the market rate for top-tier associates never changed, Williams said. quote:the market rate for top-tier associates never changed quote:top-tier poo poo

So I'm having an informal chat with a summer associate at a firm I'm bidding on for OCI, and out of nowhere he says, "You post on Something Awful, right?" Now how's that for an interview question (also: bidding on multiple offices of the same firm: opinions?)

sigmachiev posted:On that note about bidding: I'm a bit miffed as to how to proceed. Most people here will bid on San Fran and LA firms. I want Seattle, San Diego and NY firms the most. Do I bid the Seattle/SD/NY places high to ensure I get what I really want, or bid the SF/LA places high so I don't lose in the lottery? stay out of sf/la so i have a better shot Seconding congrats to HooKars, but I would like to defer the drink to immediately after OCIs

I had 23--all last week--but my school doesn't let employers pre-screen, soooooooo 10 rejections so far, but I was bidding out-of-state so they get to you slower. I know a guy who bid entirely in New York and got all his rejections the same day

I got into Harvard with 177/3.85, no bites from Yale or Stanford though. What I've heard is that Yale/Stanford are pretty idiosyncratic because their class sizes are so small.

Carlos Romious lost his license on Monday after the Kansas high court found that he charged the inflated fee while representing a soldier facing drug possession charges in a military court. The court also found that during a three-year period Romious shouted profanity at court clerks, got into a brawl with a court security officer and accused a judge of being a pedophile. Which one of you guys is this? (opinion is 2010 WL 3928608 and contains much mirth)

Sulecrist posted:What kind of poo poo will I be asked in 1L-summer DA and USAO interviews? Will it be the a lot of pretty general, easy questions about who I am and why I want to be in X doing Y, or should I try to have a really good idea of what's going on in the city/district and/or have really good reasons for the trajectory of the Rest Of My Life? It prrrrrrobably depends on where you're applying--I'd imagine smaller markets would be more interested in why you're looking there, if only because it's less obvious, but then I only applied in the big cities. As for the substantive questions, on top of the usual know-your-resume stuff, just be ready to explain why you want to be a prosecutor. Ethical hypos seem to be more the defense side's speed.
