Just locked down a summer position at the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office. It was promised to me in February if I didn't get the other position I applied for. Finally got her to follow through on it.

Schedule of classes just went up - No idea what to take. Aside from not loading up on "Law and ______" courses, does it really matter what I take? I'm signed up for the Business Law specialization, but I'm fully aware that all it will accomplish is earning a few extra words on my diploma. Not sure I want to go through with it, but not sure that I don't want to, either.

Has anyone in LA heard of either of these firms, or this judge? Bonnie, Bridges, Mueller, O’Keefe & Nichols Matison, Margolese, & Korn The Hon. Kevin C. Brazile, Dept. 20 at Stanley Mosk Courthouse They'll each be supervising me during a fellowship, so I thought perhaps someone who knows LA might be able to tell me about them.

CA Bar passed smug smug smug Oh, you mean I'm still just a law grad without real training, skills, or a permanent job? Crap.

I'm looking at the fees for admission to Central District CA and Ninth Circuit. Do either of those have to be paid for again later, like the annual CA Bar dues?

Mons Hubris posted:I think there's some truth to the specialization argument. I got my job now solely because I concentrated in (and got an LLM in) agricultural law. Granted I had some connections from my internships that helped me get the first interview, but I'm 100% I would not be in the job I have without hyper-specialization. Did your choice of school contribute to it at all?

Can anyone tell me what a District Attorney actually does? I mean the elected official, not the deputies who actually prosecute the cases.

This thread should start an issue PAC to support pro-IBR candidates in primary battles. If only you had a donor base that wasn't "debt-ridden, low salaried recent grads."

Abugadu posted:Of the people that come out, about half go back to the states after a year, and half stick around awhile, working at the local AG's or going to a local firm if they take the bar. It is tougher to do job interviews when you're out here for stateside jobs due to the time difference and the whole 'not being there' aspect. Of the last three that went back, one is working for his dad's firm, one is Biglaw and one is unemployed. Of course there are details about those that mitigate, but I'm working with a small sample size. How hard have the people who came out found it to adjust to the locale? Clerking sounds great, the pay sounds fine at that cost of living, but the location gives me pause.
