Job market looking bleak for "firmies"

August 11, 2008 13:14

For my classmates who are looking to work in big firms after graduation, things aren't looking so good this year. Only one or two local firms were on the 3L OCI list. That means that these people might actually have to use their brains, and come up with a list of firms and addresses to send *gasp*...

Questions about UW Law

August 04, 2008 02:38

I have had a couple inquiries via email and one in the comments about UW Law in general and my situation specifically. I can tell you that the one thing I have learned in law school is that you just never know.I have gotten interviewed for jobs where I didn't meet their criteria at all. I have...

Are you gonna vote?

July 26, 2008 18:53

So, I am going to be adding a "Register to Vote" button for HeadCount to my blog. As some of you may know, I started working for HeadCount in 2004 when the org first started, registering people to vote at music concerts and festivals all over the midwest. I had a great time doing this, and...

This is outrageous [attempt to go green content]

My boyfriend and I are trying our best to recycle everything and to stop using so much stuff. So, we are now trying really hard not to buy bottled water. We got a Brita filter for Christmas and have been refilling water bottles or using Nalgene bottles for our daily intake of H2O.We had to...

Time to start working soon

May 30, 2008 18:31

So, I start working on Monday. Many of my friends at school started over a week ago. My employer for the summer wanted me to wait (vacations or something for my supervisor). So I have had some time on my hands. I went camping for a few days. I went to the Chocolate Festival in Burlington. I...

Hillary for....Supreme Court?

May 23, 2008 16:28

This article in the ABA Journal intrigues me. It discusses the possibility of Barack Obama cutting a deal to get Hillary Clinton out of the race by promising to make her his nominee for the Supreme Court. This would be more exciting for me personally than her being President. For some reason, a...

Bo-battiness

I found today that I have gained 25 pounds since I quit smoking. Add that to the few that I gained in the first part of 1L just from eating crap, and that makes me about 30 pounds heavier than when I started law school. And, I was already heavy.I am now at the "Fatty Bobatty" stage. I don't ...

Time limits and law school exams

May 07, 2008 20:32

For the second time this semester, I took an exam that I could have used at least another half hour to complete. Professors write exams where most students write until the very second time is called. As a result, I usually submit answers that are formatted poorly, and that include either too much...

Panic at the library!

May 02, 2008 22:37

No, it's not a hip new band, it is a plague upon my law school. It's happy fun finals time, and I made the mistake of staying in the law school to study because I didn't want to get rained on.Then people started rolling in here at about 10am. My 2 hours of beautiful quiet and solitude with Trusts...

Semester, quit ending so fast!

April 30, 2008 02:29

Dear Mother Time (I am a feminist - get over it!),I am not ready for exams. I am however, ready for spring (that means no frickin' snow). I am totally ready to work, but I am not ready to finish school. What I am asking here is that you either slow down, or grant me that additional hour or so...
