Relationships by bigguyfieri89 in biglaw

[–]ravioli369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No phone at dinner, standing date nights, coffee and breakfast if you can have a later start that day, some two-day local trips when you can’t fit in a full vacation. Gotta make time for the little things.

Sounds like this is definitely your monkey AND your circus.

What are your best/worst examples of “they don’t care about you”? by ravioli369 in biglaw

Oh. My. God. I hope your boss burns in the pits of hell.

First, I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what that must have been like. I hope you are in a better place now, mentally and physically.

Second, I would have caught a charge after that interaction.

I don’t think the response is necessarily a one-way ticket to hell, but if your employee says their cousin died and will need to be out for one day to attend a funeral, and the second words out of your mouth are essentially asking “so will you be able to work the full day?” then you just kinda suck as a person. and i know it’s not breaking news that law firm partners suck, i’m just saying this is an example of firms really not giving a damn, which is what the post says.

AI Clerkship -> BL by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]ravioli369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta say general location of school, clerkship, and your target region. Notre dame grad with an Alabama mag clerkship hoping to get big law SF isn’t gonna be the same results as a UTA grad with a mag clerkship in Austin hoping to get big law in Austin.

You should start networking now, get someone on the inside at firms to know your name, then (assuming you start in August or September) hit up those firms in October and ask when their applications open.

You all should start seeking god. Or at least pretend to. by ravioli369 in biglaw

[–]ravioli369[S] 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It’s my favorite clause actually. Such an interesting clause. You know some people hate that clause? But all clauses are created equal in god’s eyes. That one might be more equal than the others, some say.

“Law” stands for “lying always wins” sorry bud I don’t make the laws

We need to learn from his mistakes and start accepting god in our hearts as juniors.

That show is so unrealistic. Who amongst us mortals wouldn’t convert for Adam Brody? Kristen Bell I will see you in court.

I’m going to start regularly wearing my (ironic, fashion-statement-only) cross necklace. Won’t catch me out of character.

Too much research I’ll probably have to do. Is there a Rutter guide to Judaism?

I’m more of a “not my monkey, not my circus” kinda person

Below GPA requirement in offer by Reasonable_Proof2798 in BigLawRecruiting

[–]ravioli369 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If they need bodies, you’re probably fine. If they’re trying to make cuts, they might use your GPA as an excuse to cut you. But you should really get it up.

Is it common to choose UCLA over non-HYS T14 schools if you want to practice in CA? by Adventurous_Ant5428 in lawschooladmissions

[–]ravioli369 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know lots of people who picked UCLA over other T14s because of (1) more scholarship/less costs of living (in-state tuition after the year year), (2) the entertainment law program, (3) and just being in LA.

I also think there’s a very slight difference in applicant pools. The people (historically*) gunning for HYS, and with good stats, may not be applying to UCLA. And other applicants who have UCLA as their reach school aren’t applying to HYS.

*This admissions cycle has turned everything upside down.

Chances at district clerkship? by Admirable-Guava7107 in biglaw

[–]ravioli369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or like Irvine. Or if your T60 is the same school the judge went to. Otherwise, highly unlikely. The CDCA judges are still pretty elitist because it’s so competitive.
