Quandry...
1L here. So I interviewed for two positions- one with a Fed Dist Court and one with a Fed COA. I accepted the Dist Court position about two weeks ago and now the COA has extended me an offer. I would prefer the COA for several reasons- I would get to live at home for free and it is a bit more prestigious. Is there any way I can get out of my commitment to work with the Dist court? Any creative thinkers???

Re: Quandry...
it's a 1L job, not a clerkship, prestige will really not matter that much so don't worry about that. but yeah, that sux dude

Yeah, splitting seems to be the best compromise (if even possible...).Cupidity wrote:split. it's not perfect.

Re: Quandry...
You can tactfully ask about splitting, but mostly you're stuck.

(2) This is a 1L internship - the relative 'prestige' is minimal.

Re: Quandry...
DC is fine.
You already accepted the first position, so unless they're willing to let you split, you can't really rescind at this point.
