Ersatz posted:So one of my friends has a strong interest in tax law, lives in DC, and thinks she might enjoy working for the IRS. I remember some chatter earlier in the thread about open entry-level positions requiring an accounting background. She has her JD, a degree in economics, and some accounting coursework. If those positions are still open, do any of the IRS people in the thread know if that might get her in the door? Thanks in advance. The IRS is interviewing at my school for both 2Ls and 3Ls. That suggests there are openings. Or will be, next summer, at least.

Oakdale posted:So I've decided to get a joint degree in Agricultural and Resource Economics in addition to a JD with a heavy focus on environmental policy, hopefully I can get a job at the EPA in 4 years. I'm still pretty depressed about my future though, don't worry!  Come on. If you're going to troll, at least put more effort into it. Come back when this thread is on #14.

Tetrix posted:Thoughts on joining a secondary journal? Is it worth the work? I would like to clerk if possible, so that weighs in favor of it. Am I going to get pigeonholed by employers thinking that I am only interested in the topic of the journal? Look at the number of jobs that "prefer" or "require" journal/moot court. While a secondary journal isn't going to look as good on your resume, it will beat out the other people who don't have it, assuming same grade range, for landing the interview. Also, if everything on your resume says "I am an International Law Panda" and you're going to be on the "International Law" journal, yeah, it will say that. If your experiences are varied, I bet an employer will look at it and say, "Not good enough to make Review, but better than others who didn't suffer a year as a staff writer."

Ersatz posted:A far better plan than going straight from undergrad to law school would be working at the patent office as an examiner. They've started hiring electrical and computer engineering majors again, and the rumor is that they'll start hiring more broadly in the near future. The job pays well, is relatively easy, and would increase your chances of landing a position at a firm if you do eventually decide to practice law. This is anecdotal but I was told by an IP partner at a large firm (near the top of the Amlaw 100) that working as an examiner isn't the way to get into a large firm, if that's your goal. He told me that it "wouldn't be a good career move." That said, it was a single lawyer at a single firm. YMMV.

Leon Kowalski posted:Ted might not be correct about a bachelors in engineering being out of luck for patent law. My understanding is that they can get away with avoiding grad school. Are things so bad that even engineers need grad school? I have no personal stake in the matter; I'm someone who took the "science PhD" route to patent law too. At my school (around the middle of the top 50) with a bachelor's in engineering, in the upper portion of my class, I have gotten a large number of interviews--of which three are from IP boutiques. I'm not sure if they're largely courtesy interviews or what, but they are interviewing, at least here in the Northeast. Yeah, don't go to law school UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE A LAWYER AND YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT A LAWYERS DO.

CmdrSmirnoff posted:Trois Pistoles is amazing but it's impossible to find outside of some bars occasionally. Some friends and I are going to take a road trip to Quebec to fill up the trunk with Unibroue this winter. I know of several shops in Massachusetts and Vermont that sells bottles of the stuff. Call up a few liquor stores in your area that carry large selections of wine, I find those places tend to have the good beers, too. Might let you get your hands on it sooner.

The Warszawa posted:The Boston market is very insular and you will be an outsider during OCI, because you will not have actually started at BU/BC. This is completely true. I'm at BC (2L). While everyone I know has a job this summer, more than half are outside of Boston. Boston firms are hiring small classes. One transfer student I know (from a lower-ranked Boston school) bombed out of OCI, in spite of him being exceptionally personable and a Boston-native. If you're going to be stupid and go to BU/BC, go to BU. They did better in our joint BU/BC NYC OCI last year based on the interview sheets they posted.

I'm in the UK so I don't have access to US cases on westlaw/lexis and I find your crazy legal system eerie and confusing.

Stop posted:Did you guys find that people benefited from reading prep material or whatever in the summer before their 1L year? No. What is in this material might be different from what your professor teaches and what they expect you to put on the exam. But feel free to waste part of the last happy, regret-free summer of your life.
