Most people I know have court externships, and a couple are working as RAs. I think most people just sent application packets cold to the court.

Re: Best school for job prospects???
I should have done that...I had this crazy idea that I needed to be paid for the summer, so I spent the first several month of this semester looking for paid work. Big mistake Firms just don't seem to be hiring 1L's this year, even for free.mnolen wrote:Most people I know have court externships, and a couple are working as RAs.

I'm going to apply for those 2 RA positions they posted the other day. Honestly that's what I should have been doing all along if I wanted to get paid.
