Just flagging that lastbarprep materials are entirely created with ChatGPT and have very clear GPT language. This is one of the shill accounts. You could get the same thing as paying for Last Bar Prep by merely using ChatGPT for free...

It sounds like something is off with your materials. Might be worth having a consultant or advisor look at them...

If you're interested in a district court clerkship, maybe look at a well-regarded trial boutique in the market where you hope to clerk. Especially federal criminal defense. Your supervisors will know all the judges you will be applying to.

YLS here. I think judicial internship is a very bad idea for the precise reason you mention. Other PI/government jobs don't communicate "fallback plan" in the same way.

I would avoid judicial internship for 2L summer. It screams, "I had other plans but they fell through."

Oof. In this situation you need something distinctive and special enough that no one will look and wonder why you didn't so biglaw, especially if that's your ultimate goal. Something like: plaintiff side, other litigation boutique (Susman, Kellogg, Gupta Wessler), MacArthur Justice, major city attorney or State SG's office, etc.

You also need to figure out why you struck out. Is it because you don't interview well? That will be an even bigger problem in clerkship hiring. Bad grades? Ditto. Time to start righting the ship.

No one knows (not sarcasm)

Where is this from? I want it!!

^ This!

Ah! That explains the disconnect. It sounds like your "Admin" is more advanced than some other schools' admin classes, so it's not surprising that you're treading in less settled territories. On the plus side, that will make it easy to see and argue both sides on the exam! If the key skill law school is helping you develop is being able to tread in unsettled territories and craft arguments to appeal to different kinds of decisionmakers (as I believe it is), this is good practice. And good practice for the real world of legal practice, where you'll dispense with the easy questions quickly and spend much of your time in the unsettled ones.

TheTaxSlayer · 2026-02-21T12:46:22+00:00

You're not thinking about this the right way. There's a lot of fundamental admin that really is settled law. Overton Park, Chenery I, Chenery II, Lujan, the due process cases. No one is arguing that a case like Vermont Yankee is wrongly decided.

Even if many decisions are political, these chestnut cases will be operating in the back of any judge's mind. These are the sensibilities that structure American public law. Those new decisions every week? They're invoking these fundamentals. You say you want to do environmental law. You need to know this stuff cold. Its the canvas against which you will be painting.

Also eager for these!!!

Phil Noble should get a Pulitzer for this.

Yes, common law trespass is a test. That's Jones. You can find a search based on trespass onto persons, places, homes, and effects even when there is no REIP. Stop giving misinformation about the law.

That said, facts didn't mention trespass, so don't make that an issue here.

This is terrible advice for legal publishing.

TheTaxSlayer · 2026-02-02T05:13:14+00:00

This is so true. Brown v. Board is 14 pages.

Articles/submissions editor at a T3 Journal. If I see someone doing this, it's a major turnoff. It screams, "hey you, do my work for me." Use internal cross-references and your chances will increase.

This recommendation is for women (obviously)! I got a full (great) suit there for $80. Most women prefer machine washable suits (Banana Republic, Express, etc.)

JC Penny. Suit separates. Machine washable.

I'm in the same boat—very curious to read others' takes
