If you're a straight white guy how do you apply for 1L SAs? Do you still apply ~through~ firm diversity programs?

don't you wish you were a *diverse* immigrant like me now ehh??

probably not, since I can't apply for (most? all?) fed gov internships

[cannibal ox]

cuz you likely don't have to pay for the PRIVILEGE of interning there out of your own pocket

wtf is this

Working for a judge = working for school credits = paying for school credits = paying for the PRIVILEGE of interning there out of your own pocket

Email the recruiter (find email on NALP or firm website) with your cover letter/resume/transcript.

I believe we actually do get the pitiful handful of dollars they hand out for unpaid summer gigs for judicial internships

If you're sending out apps on Dec. 1 you have no transcript?

Then send other materials, or send a blank transcript to show what classes you're taking (I did this but I have no reason why I did it, lol1L).

Paying for school credits (which may be a wash in the end I admit) AND taking out extra loans to live off of. WHAT A PRIVILEGE

At UT at least, judicial internships aren't eligible for school funding so you get a few credits of summer school and take out extra loans to live off of (cuz you're in "summer school" you're eligible to take out extra loans-lulz)

But, if you intern at, like, a DA's office then you're eligible for the 4K summer funding fellowships. It costs like 8K to intern with a judge for an experience that doesn't provide any added benefit. LOLNOPE

(But maybe other schools are different, sounds like this isn't the case at Georgetown. I honestly would have preferred to do a judicial internship but I wasn't going to pay all that extra money to do it)

I've literally had one job in this country before law school, and not went to office hours once, this is going to be great!

Use your LRW prof. Mine was happy to give a reference even though i never once spoke with her outside of class.

+1. List your LRW prof, even if you didn't get an A in the class. Employers are hiring you to research/write, not because of your mastery of Torts.

What is the timeline for judicial internships? It is the upmost importance to mail out Dec 1st, or can I wait till finals are over?

Cannot speak for every judge, but my chambers will start reviewing apps Dec. 1. We are in a large city, though. May be different for smaller cities/rural areas.

What is a Written Reference? In what way is Written Reference different from LOR?

Thank you

[thisiswater]

Checking in. I'm hoping to massmail on Dec 1 or Dec 2. If I wait till after finals it will be middle of December and that seems pretty late

Thank you

you're not getting LORs this isn't like admissions you're just listing a person that employers can call and ask if you're a psychopath

TBF, usually a job just asks for "references" and a "written reference" could be a LOR - they're uncommon but some judges ask for them. Or it might be asking for a written list of references,
