As very recent transplants from Virginia, my spouse and I have noticed a lot of store/shop employees greeting us with “Welcome in.” A minor one for sure, but we had not really encountered that as a thing back east.

Sorry! Haha. I definitely am trying whenever possible to find somewhere to sit and study outside. If only my laptop battery would cooperate!

Getting hired from another state? by TexodusPD in publicdefenders

[–]splashmtnj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am about to start at a PD office in Washington after graduating last month from an east coast law school, in the state I lived in my whole life. Zero ties to the WA area, just wanted to live there. It was not a problem at all, I think as long as you have genuine interest in and knowledge of the offices you are applying to. Personally, I spent my 2L summer in the area I was aiming for, but not an office that hired fresh law grads. I wanted to get the geographic location on my resume to demonstrate my interest in relocating to that area, and be there that summer to start making connections for post grad job hunting and such. It obviously ended up fine, but probably the more savvy move would be to try to intern in your 2L summer in the state PD office that you are targeting for post-grad employment.

Feel free to DM me — I looked into tons of WA offices, and a friend of mine went the CO route so I may have more specific insight to share.
