#69002, "Three law students? You poor bastards :)"
|
I really don't miss those days. Most people strike out at OCI, so don't get discouraged by it.
Just do your best in classes and look for other ways besides pure grades to set yourself apart as a candidate. Unpaid work experience or if the school lets you work for credits can go a long way. I did a stint at legal aid in Atlanta in my 3L year (or was it 2L, I forget), was an easy way to get 3 credits and get some more legal work on the resume.
Also, don't underestimate the importance of getting a strong reference from one or two professors that teach in the field you're looking for, something that goes beyond the generic.
And finally put together a very strong writing sample on something relative to the field, and work with a professor or someone to revise it to make it as strong as possible. Employers will want to know how well you write, since that's primarily what lawyers do. Unless you're one of those insane court room litigator types.
I got lucky, I had just passed the bar when someone showed me CF.
