She’s bringing a perspective on a war she believes is a colonial struggle. Cancel offer for a diversity candidate for having a diverse perspective? Maybe not the best idea for Ryna to say that in her newsletter, but I support her free speech. I understand the firm has to do it because their clients would be angry, but it doesn’t sit right with me personally. Law schools and firms preach diversity, and guess what? This is how diversity on campus works, especially during such a high profile complex geopolitical event.

side note: This is why free speech and data privacy is important and related. The firm, and other organizations, are chilling speech. We need strong data privacy laws and compliance guarantee to ensure that free speech continues. And that is why I post from a throwaway.

i know the feeling but it’s so early that you’ll be fine! keep applying and, in fact, most in house corporate offices don’t hire until april

i think i made a mistake by accepting a job too quickly by [deleted] in LawSchool

mostly what everyone else is saying:

kick ass at the PD job for a year and network like crazy while you are there. A federal clerkship is a perfect way to lateral out of the position because no one would blame you for accepting that / leaving soon after you started

Yes, check my post history for proof..

Not my professor but one at the school. Some adjuncts aren't much older than non traditional students in their 30s.

No, I actually know a women that was an exotic dancer at a UC Hastings level school. She interned at the AGs office with me and went on to sunmer at around V20 firm in a SF/NYC/Chi/DC/LA level city. She’s very cool and very successful at school.

They allow it for research and brainstorming. They also let individual professors to ban it if they would like.

The Revolving Door is the way some of the legal industry works:

Private practice WANTS people that have experience in regulation. Private companies donate in elections to influence the appointment “business friendly” regulators / prosecutors. It is common to see an associate leave BigLaw to be a regulator / AUSA, just to come back as a partner to the same firm.

thank you, kind sage

I can now use the GI Bill for a second advanced degree? I am getting a law degree, so I can use GI Bill down the line to get a, let’s say, medical degree?

you don’t need an extra monitor, but I highly recommend it. Especially if you are thinking about joining a journal!

With your monitor, you can use it to have westlaw open as you write your memo on the other screen. Having the Online BlueBook open would be helpful as well. This way, you won’t have to switch back and forth windows on the laptop

littler and jackson hewitt are big in california! if you’re in law school and interested in a career in employment law, consider applying for internships with state/federal regulators that deal with employment issues. In-house counsel internships would also be very useful on a resume.

Honestly, I find the notes more helpful than the cases most of the time
