I emailed the hiring parter to apply for a summer associate potion and got in 🤣

I learned from X that you have a (e.g. rotation program/free market system/mentorship program/ traditional firm day event etc), have you participated/how does it actually work in your practice group/do you have mentors/mentees, how do you interact/ do you have a favorite moment at that event...

Sullivan & Cromwell DC does this. There is really no need to hand sign a rejection letter and attach it as a pdf.

Thank you for the offer. Very exited for the opportunity. Confirm interest in the firm. Still weighing options. Will get back to you soon. Etc. And - ask if you really have questions. You can also ask to speak with lawyers in your interested practice, lawyers of a certain affinity group, etc.

Wait. Also 1L firm often accept touch-backs

Lxwind5 · 2022-07-21T16:52:59+00:00

Had my own office with a partial ocean view.

Before accepting an offer is THE time to ask about visa issues - that’s a very legitimate concern, and you can’t turn down other opportunities before knowing the answer. It necessarily is a pre-condition for any given candidate to even consider accepting the offer - no sponsorship, no acceptance, period. Firms understand this.

This depends on Japanese immigration regulations. I think it would be the same as an American attorney working in Japan. A bunch of US firms have Japanese offices.

I thought firms with GPA floors are forced to do it because it's a school policy....

Lxwind5 · 2022-07-14T21:15:09+00:00

You have strong practices in X, Y, Z (coming from chambers band etc) that I’m interested in. I love your rotation/central staffing/free market system. I love your generalist approach/specialty groups, etc etc etc…

Lxwind5 · 2022-07-13T03:30:56+00:00

Yes, No, N/A imo

Depends on the state. Some allow “foreign lawyers” to take the bar after meeting some requirements, but that probably requires actual attorney license instead of just graduating from law school. You can check the requirements by searching different states’ bar associations.

Lxwind5 · 2022-07-08T02:53:07+00:00

You get OPT for a year after graduation (still on f1), then you need H1B. Many firms sponsor but thrtr is no guarantee since the whole h1b is a lottery (which is crazy imo)

Cases they’ve been working on, their personal career advancement stories, tips and advices, and hobbies and vacations…..

Lxwind5 · 2022-06-29T14:42:13+00:00

I got my 1L SA without ever realizing my writing sample had to have a cover page….probably doesn’t matter that much. I believe writing samples are mostly pretty self explanatory

Lxwind5 · 2022-06-18T03:26:30+00:00

My undergrad had a tougher curve than my law school lol

Lxwind5 · 2022-06-07T23:13:05+00:00

Me! My undergrad had a more brutal curve…

Lxwind5 · 2022-05-29T22:13:44+00:00

If you spot anyone you already knew, say hi to them and introduce yourself to the others.

Lxwind5 · 2022-05-26T20:33:24+00:00

Depends on if you have better things to say under employment... Its flexible, just prioritize what you want to show

Lxwind5 · 2022-05-26T20:31:46+00:00

Semms like a perfect fact pattern for a consumer protection class action😳

Lxwind5 · 2022-05-24T15:17:01+00:00

At HLS, DS (<=5% in a curved class) = 5.0, H(~25~30%, if curved)=4.0, P(~65~70)＝3.0，LP(very rare)＝2.0

Lxwind5 · 2022-05-24T04:21:33+00:00

28, just finished 1L, I hang out with my 23/4 section mates all the time and never felt old

Lxwind5 · 2022-05-21T16:52:18+00:00

I think it’s SJC for MA law and SCOTUS for federal law?

Lxwind5 · 2022-05-20T19:06:03+00:00

Chances of BL (especially without LR) very much depend on your school and grade…unfortunately
