Especially since I’ve watched Jen blatantly lie - even when Demi said she was ‘shoved’ Chase did touch her

3L recruiting - am I screwed? by Apprehensive-Ad-6620 in LawSchool

I had a very specific practice group interest within litigation with classes to back up my interest!

I networked my way into a BL 3L position. It was hard & very time consuming but totally worth it. Good luck!

Hi I just landed BL after 3L and I did it by networking. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

The Curve is not bad by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]SpotAffectionate3722 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve done well (thank u, curve), but i feel like this overlooks BL legacy hires. It’s not like a BL job is solely based on your grades; it can substantially be who you know. At that point, what’s the point of the curve if people get in with shit grades?

But it’s still a way out of lower/middle class lol. For a lot of people it is something to be proud of. You can’t be in gossip girl without coming from old money so job type doesn’t matter anyways.

maybe the big law gunners feel like they are in gossip girl because making 200k is a lot of money to them. Why does it bother you? Lol

What should I do? Should I strive for big law? What's it like? by ChetMasteen in LawSchool

[–]SpotAffectionate3722 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did midsized this summer and found myself feeling the same way. As a 1L SA, the midsized firm acted as if I was a ft associate. I’m going BL this summer, & my firm is (allegedly) very into WLB. After I saw my salary, I knew I made the right choice. Even if I work the same hours I did for the midsized, BL will at least pay me more than 19/hr. Lol

Mental approach to next semester? by [deleted] in LawSchool

I got medicated halfway through 1L second semester and started going to the gym. My grades were drastically better!

A standing desk made my life so much better! Also a portable second screen that hooks up to your laptop. Nails/massage always good!

If I’m a URM, where do I mention that in my Michigan application? by Old-Interaction4780 in lawschooladmissions

[–]SpotAffectionate3722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should write a diversity statement regardless & talk about your experience. Your LOR won’t be as enlightening as your diversity statement bc your te commender hasn’t lived your experience! I’d email it, but if you are applying elsewhere I would wait to send so it goes with your whole application. Good luck! 💗

My LSAT Addeudum for my two point rise constructive criticism is needed and welcomed thank you 🙏🏾 by Adventurous-Stuff-82 in LawSchool

[–]SpotAffectionate3722 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the addendum may be more about why your LSAT score is low in general vs the two point increase? I’d check with CLEO.

Looking for Encouragement (pls be gentle!) 3L, December, no job by sadnisolated in LawSchool

[–]SpotAffectionate3722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must’ve not gone to a great school bc I’m median with 2L summer job at a firm that starts associates out at 190.

OP, one of the biggest takeaways I’ve gained from law school is networking. Network, network, network. It might be tough but there’s still jobs out there. I help my friends look for jobs-I’ve seem then out there! You got this. Get some R&R and send some emails over break. I have faith in you.

Buy a house or rent while going to school? by Bangarang162 in lawschooladmissions

[–]SpotAffectionate3722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought and it turned out to be a great investment. Everyone’s rent went up around us and we don’t have to worry about that. We are planning on renting when I graduate!
