General lit vs. Appellate group?

Post by Anonymous User » Sun Mar 10, 2024 8:19 pm

Clerking right now, and I’m weighing offers from a biglaw appeals & issues group and a well-regarded lit group. Summer projects were all research, so I don’t have a great sense of the day-to-day in general lit.

What questions should I be asking? Can I likely move into general lit from an explicitly law-focused role? Will I limit exit options if I don’t go into general lit right away?
