this kind of lame-ass issue spotting is why people don't like talking to law students.

Nobody calls up random jobs on your resume. Virtually nobody even asks for references anymore.

There is a tiny chance they will, but it's a lot of effort. They gotta figure out who exactly you worked for.

Also, you'll have to tell your employer for conflicts checks anyway. That probably won't cause a problem, but there is a small chance someone would ask why that wasn't on your resume then inquire about it. Not a large chance, but it balances out the chance they inquire on their own. So the risk of putting it on balances the risk of taking it off. The tiebreaker is having a good jerb on your resume.

This thread reminded me why my 1L employer practices a neutral reference policy.

Also, definitely leave this gig off your resume.
