atlas of bugs posted:Hello, I'm from New Orleans, and I'd like to inform you that the voodoo spirit of Baron Samedi presides over both matters of death and law. It's an interesting pairing, I know. You can purchase a voodoo poppet in the Baron's image at any New Orleans voodoo shop or online from any reputable source. Make sure you poppet is ceremonially cursed by at least a High Priestess with an incantation of two weeks or more. This cursed poppet has many uses; for example, I built it an altar of spiced rum and Hershey's kisses last year in the hopes of success in law school, but now I use it to pray for merciful death! Hershey is ten minutes away from where I live, so if those need to be fresh I can hook a brother up in exchange for mandrake and nightshade.

Hi everybody! I've been in the thread for years and I've already asked these questions in IRC, but I feel like opening them up a little because xo's search functions are broken and the 3Ls in IRC are virulent freaks and all they tell me is to get signatures on a tams petition. I'm a 1L at Duke looking for summer jobs. After graduating, I think I want to be an ADA somewhere (preferably in, like, Alameda or Kings county, but realistically[?] in some backwater capital shithole like Dauphin), but I know I don't know poo poo about poo poo yet. I don't expect to be at the top of my class. So here are some questions: -How many jobs should I apply for? Dozens, hundreds? -I'm looking at DAs, USAOs, and AsG. None of them (at the moment) are anywhere near North Carolina. Will the name of my school and my handful of public-interest softs be enough to get me a glance at most places, or do I really need to be vomiting out resumes and hoping that one sticks? -Any other places I should consider, even if I don't want a firm or whatever in the long term? -How bad/competitive is northern California? If I work in DA's offices both 1L and 2L summers out there, will I probably still be fenced out by local competition and the state's penuriousness?

Thank you all for your replies. I didn't realize how different DA office culture was from state to state, although I guess I should have. I'm going to add in a few fistfuls of metros and I'll try to find some more professors to talk to. Is there a better way to find offices than just googling up state county maps and then searching for their corresponding DAs?

I'm kind of enjoying finals but i don't feel like they're going very well. On the plus side, it seems like I'm going to have a fairly easy time getting a 1L summer job doing something that I want somewhere I wouldn't hate. I like the material enough that I'm probably not going to drop out even if I'm below median. And I guess I'm still sort of hoping that I can go be an ADA somewhere (even if it pays like $35k and is in the desert) so I'm going to keep on keepin' on unless something really bad happens. I was making significantly less than that before I came to law school doing work that I didn't like. And it's not like I was ever going to be a submarine captain or a Jedi if I hadn't come to Duke. And maybe we'll get another championship.

What kind of poo poo will I be asked in 1L-summer DA and USAO interviews? Will it be the a lot of pretty general, easy questions about who I am and why I want to be in X doing Y, or should I try to have a really good idea of what's going on in the city/district and/or have really good reasons for the trajectory of the Rest Of My Life? I've been told that interviews for full-time employment have a lot of ethical hypos in them; should I expect anything like that?

Hi 0Ls! I would like to tell you about a school called DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW. It has a wonderful history of goon tolerance and, while we currently lack girls (30% of the entering class) and black people (2% of our entering class) and Irving is still on crutches, we have easy access to division 1 football tickets and it is possible to be accepted within three days of application. We have had a goon in every class since '08 and would like YOU to be the next! Duke is surrounded by a magical forest, beyond which lies a city with okay bars and unfortunate crime and another city with bad bars and sickeningly hot, desperate undergrads (http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/08/colleges-where-men-are-in-supply/). The Triangle also has good minor league baseball and a moth problem. Please come to Duke. We would be happy to show you around.

Factory Factory posted:Sent my applications in today. I'm reaching, but I feel good about getting into something. Nobody cares because I just lurk here. Bye. come to Duke. I'm not kidding about actively trying to continue the goon tradition. if you have any questions at all, even if you don't post much/ever (I didn't) jump into the irc and ask HR or me whatever you want. Incidentally, we share a locker but he never uses it (and he'll be in DC next semester, so if you've heard about the Duke in DC program he'd be the fellow to ask).

Direwolf posted:Hey, defleshed, I have a friend who's applying for a 1L summer position with JAG - she's kinda worried about how selective it is but is going to go ahead and take her best shot. Any advice on how she should approach the interview, other than what you said here? Do they tend to emphasize GPA for the 1L summer or are there other things they focus on? I'm curious about this too. Army and AF are coming on-campus for 1L OCI and I bid as high as possible on them, but I was wondering how impossible positions are.
