Re: firm holiday receptions
don't be a wallflower, make polite conversation, don't get drunk, thank everyone (esp the recruiting person) for being invited, find people at the firm from your school.

Re: firm holiday receptions
Went to one the other day and talked to a few partners and associates and got an email asking to send them a resume and transcript.
Since they want a transcript as well, I'm pretty sure it wasn't my charm that got their attention since I probably have none, but the fact that I showed up, showed interest and go to a good law school.
I think these are great events to go to if you're looking for advice from attorneys. Of course IME the best advice are always from the associates who are just a few years out of law school and can keep it real with you.
My idea going into these events is not that I will get a job from them (cause there are basically none at least for someone with my lack of WE) but I can get information about the practice group, about the firm initiatives, where the firm is moving towards, diversity questions etc. that I can't get as readily from a website.
