I Got a Job! 2006

I got the LeBoeuf Lamb job! I'll be a summer intern in New York City this summer! Woo!

Kevin and me in NY this month, when I went for my LeBoeuf call-back interview

Call- Back In DC 2006

On Monday I had a call-back interview in DC. Kevin drove me up Sunday night and we drove back Monday after the interview. They put me up at the Fairmont hotel, and got me a suite with a living area. It was nice.

Not sure that the interview went that well. I think I made a mistake in answering one of the questions truthfully. It's a mistake that someone with an attorney in the family would never have made. But I didn't know what they wanted in advance. Oh well, I guess I'll know better next time.

2L Interviews 2006

I have a million interviews to get a 2L summer associate position next summer. It's a big deal because the 2L summer job typically leads to an offer for full-time employment after law school. It's also a big deal because this determines what city I will live in after I graduate. Stressful! Yesterday was one the craziest, busiest days of my interview scheduled. I survived!

In other news, apparently Pluto is not a planet anymore. Sad. So much for "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas."

Summer Legal Jobs 2006

I started my two part-time jobs this week. It's been extremely busy so far. I'm working at Legal Aid Justice Center. At the beginning of the week I do Immigration Law on-sight and the end of the week I do Elder Law at the Adult Protective Services Building way across town.

Legal Aid Justice Center

It is interesting, but it's going to be a long summer. Especially since in order to get to the Elder Law job I have to take a bus (or walk) to the church, take the trolley downtown and then walk the two miles there.

Got a Job 2006

Maybe this week will be better than last week. This morning we found out we’re allowed to use our notes and outlines for our Family Law final. There was a student who tried to persuade the Professor not to let us use our outlines. Presumably because she alone has been memorizing the specific details all semester?

And then in the afternoon Audra very generously took me to an interview at Legal Aid, and even refused to let me walk back afterward. I finally found a job for the summer! ... Unpaid.

Oh and when I got home I saw a paid position at the same place. Hm.

1L Summer Job Letters 2005

UVA Law also affectionately calls this the "1L Mail Merge." We write letters to firms and organizations seeking summer legal jobs. I'm applying to 80 different places. Letters go out today!

Envelopes, Cover Letters and Resumes!

Ready to go in the mail!

Goodbye Party 2005

Last week was my last week of work! I've been at the same place for the last three years so it's a big change to leave and I was a little sad. Luckily my DC friends and a few people from work met me for a last day happy hour goodbye party.
