Only if you specialize in Space Law. They like having international flavor in their associates.

Well... to what extent do you define space law? I'm only interested in domains within the third nebulon galaxy...

if by that, you mean Supreme Court of the UniverSe. even then, i'm too good looking and tall for it. would be a waste of my talents.


lol no but seriously big law abroad is out of the question then? cause i would like to study abroad but it seems like it might screw over job prospects if i don't do any legal work in the summer. anyone study abroad during the school year and is THAT a good idea ever?

If you have an offer after your 2L summer, then by all means study abroad your 3L year.

I'm doing big law abroad this summer, so it's certainly doable. I don't know how good it is for future prospects, but it's with a very reputable firm (V50) and while I don't get paid the same amount SAs do in its US offices, I'm getting paid enough to live on.

are you a 1L, 2L, or 3L and was it really competitive?

I'm a 1L at T14. They told me they got 40 applications, and then called back 3 for 1 position. I got lucky.

Yeah, I am around median. I say lucky, because I know there were applicants who go to better schools + have better grades (they told me). Yes, I'm fluent in the language. They told me that they basically chose me because they thought my resume was interesting. I've done some work before in the country and I have some family ties to the region. I think it really came down to that.
