Question: Say I do this and wind up sending cover letters/resumes to lots of Texas judges. That means lots of courts will be doused with mail from me. If every judge on (for instance) the TX Supreme Court gets a letter from me, doesn't that look bad? What if they compare applications and see that this Art Vandelay fool looks desperate for an internship, considering he's told every one of them that he wants to work for them?

Would anyone advise coming up with multiple variations of cover letters so that every judge on a given court doesn't get a letter from me that's worded the exact same way? OR should I not even worry about it? Are they even likely to discuss this stuff amongst themselves? Am I just a paranoid douchebag?

Sounds like one of those questions that the counselors can answer for you in about a month We can't send em out till 12/1 anyway, right?

Section 4B

Criminal Law: Prof. Laurin
Property: Prof. Torres
Constiutional Law Small Section: Prof. Perry


Initial impressions: Torres and Perry both look pretty awesome for my interests. Perry is big time on first amendment, government, and DoJ stuff, while Torres has lots of DoJ and Environmental experience. Laurin I'm not sure about...her faculty profile says nothing except she is a recent Columbia J.D. Google reveals that she clerked for Calabresi on the 2nd circuit and worked for a civil rights firm, which is cool, but aside from that I can't find much about her.
