Neko Sou posted:Do any of you guys have any experience with The Innocence Project? http://www.innocenceproject.org/?gclid=CPTk-cCa26YCFUdrKgodDRdO2A I already have an externship in federal district court this summer but I'd really like to do this too. But they need you to work full-time in the summer and part-time during fall semester. It seems like a good learning opportunity and it pays $2,500 (which is better than free). I feel like learning from a judge and the networking/letter of recommendation I'm going to get from the externship this summer will be more helpful but I don't know if I should try to do this at the same time somehow or maybe next summer if I can't find a firm job. Do you want to work for a firm or anywhere else? If yes, judge. Do you want to save the world or do criminal defense? If yes, either. Do you care more about $2,500 in booze money than a slight gain to future employability? If yes, Innocence Project.

I mean i painted 3,500 points of Bretonnians one summer in high school including hand-painted individual heraldry on every knight and they looked wicked and I am also terrible at motor control this is just beyond the pale.

Adar posted:Hey, we should really have met up so I could argue you out of this vOv Yeah, of all the people I know who are currently 2Ls at the same T14, the biggest concomittant of being unemployed for next summer is having done nonsense, like non-legal corporate work in Korea, or trying to save the bushmen of Liberia or whatever. Go back to the firm; you can keep your contacts there alive (huge in this market) and no firm is going to think you're lazy. Firm jobs for 1Ls, no matter what sort of firm, are gold. On the other hand, you started law school, aren't sure you want to even finish, and are instead concerned with your fashion degree and your boyfriend. You should probably leave this job for someone who actually wants it.

Omerta posted:Pretty much every professor at every school gives an A+ for booking the class. I'd be pretty pissed too. Actually, I'm pissed because I got a B+ and my GPA went down by .14. Here's to hoping my three remaining classes come out As (or A+s)... I booked 3 classes and have yet to get an A+, yet I know lots of people who get A+'s and didn't book. REAL gunner problems.

Good/fine. I seemed to know every bit as much as my friends who did Barbri. Also, some of the lecturers were really good (the commercial paper guy, Sherman Clark for evidence [Go Blue!]) And, like, I saved ~$2,500.

So, now that the bar is over, I'm on to apartment hunting.... Anyone have input on billing while on transit by reading documents/cases or redlining briefs or whatever? I'm considering ~1 hour commute per day in exchange for about ~$15,000 a year in housing cost and tax savings...

I think the worst thing you can do in OCI is try to talk business/be too specific. Just chat with them, have a couple stock questions for them ready and a bullshit/evasive response for the big questions you can expect ("Why [city]? Tell me about your 1L summer job!). Every firm I got callbacks from was one where the interviewer and I talked about TV/philosophy/video games/karaoke/my embarassing Con Law Grade and shot the poo poo for 20 minutes. Whether or not you get a job is determined 98% by your 1L grades, and your interview performance can only drag you down by, for example, you asking a dumb question or being awkward. Your interviewer is a person just like you, but a couple years older. Would you be impressed by some 1L sperging out about corporate tax, or the firms latest merger? Most people do exactly that, and it's dumb. They'll remember the guy who was chill or talked about <interesting topic>, not "TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PRIVATE EQUITY PRACTICE" dude.
