- Attended a presentation about jobs at the DOJ. In order to get even an unpaid internship I must start applying after December 1st, when ABA states that 1Ls can start looking for jobs. Merry Christmas DOJ!
- Attended a trial advocacy meeting. Halfway through the meeting signed up to be a law clerk online (because the spots were all going to be taken if I waited until after to meeting to sign up- like were supposed to. Word to the wise, be nice to the people around you and don't make enemies. I was nice so someone let me use their computer to sign up.)
- Attended a meeting for people interested in a banking law internship. Application due in 3 days.
- Attended a presentation about jobs in the government. Big message of the day- network network network! (OMFG, network?)
So here it is, already there are 4 meetings pertaining to life outside of law school (well, 3.5 trial ad is a competition, but can really help in getting a job post grad.) I guess from this point I've got to put some faith in myself. Unlike undergrad, where I spent the first two years thinking that the fact that I am in school is good enough, law school is setting the fire under my ass early. It is not good enough that I made it. I've got to be awesome at it.
