The only firm that requests a cover letter is Paul Hastings

This is what I was told as well. My understanding was that the letter was supposed to address the "why this city" question...

Does anyone know what the required formate for the letter is?

i think it's just a normal cover letter? where does it say/where did you hear that it's supposed to address the 'why this city' question?

On nalpdirectory, I'm pretty sure if you look at the hiring grid for each firm it shows the expected class size for next year

Is it too late to upload the special resume/cover letter for Paul Hastings (since the deadline for uploading your resume has passed)? Also, are we supposed to write a full cover letter, or just a paragraph indicating office preference?

[donniedarko]

I'm a transfer and I was told that the dates were flexible for us because some transfers didn't get in until after the deadlines listed...

Curious about this too, I unbid Paul Hastings because I assumed everyone would just take a resume.

Would love to know this too

Stupid question: who should Hastings cover letter be addressed to?

[Anonymous User]

Anybody willing to critique my tentative bid list?

Did we find out the answer to this?

Anyone know when/where we submit our bid list? Trying to get in touch with Career Center now but they have been slow to respond.

I'm kinda hoping you're joking because the emails have been non-stop.

The email yesterday said:

Just a friendly reminder that bidding closes at 5pm EDT on July 25th (today). No exceptions!

when do we find out our interview schedule? anyone have any idea?

August 15th.

15th is not a set date. I am the Anon from above and I turned in my bid list late because I was unaware of the deadline (I use my personal email over the summer, which I explained to CS). Apparently they say it’s the 15th every year (or a week or so before whenever EIW starts), but the lists usually come out like the 18th or 19th. One of the lawyers at the career office told me that since an unusual number of people are submitting late this year (transfers, out of the country, etc.) the lists will be released later than usual.

So you clearly have a better idea of when the interview schedule will be released than the rest of us who actually read the OCI packet and followed directions...

Last year the 2Ls let OCS know that they wanted schedules earlier, and OCS complied. Share you angst with them. I'll be sharing mad angst.

any tips on the cleanest way to print an unofficial transcript? the good old fashion print feature is not working. tried copying and pasting, but was unsuccessful.

...... anyone want to start an email campaign to OCS asking to get schedules earlier. I mean, we're already one of the last OCI's happening, we need all the help we can get...

Maybe something like:

dear so and so,

I and a good number of my classmates feel that a five day window between the release of OCI interviewing schedules and OCI hinder our ability to adequately prepare for our interviews. We would greatly appreciate it if your office would consider releasing interviewing schedules sometime before August 15th.

Sincerely,
Buckilaw

Short sweet and to the point. If OCS gets around 100 or so they might get the idea.
