Current Job Status for Law Students (poll)
I want to get an idea of how law students are fairing in terms of summer employment and post 3L employment.

Re: Current Job Status for Law Students (poll)
you're going to get selection bias, though, bc people who have jobs will be more inclined to respond.

True, I just wanted a sampling of TLSrs though.

Re: Current Job Status for Law Students (poll)
I'm not so sure if this is an accurate assumption. In fact, the opposite may be true: posters here seem more than willing to voice concerns about their lack of employment.somewhatwayward wrote:you're going to get selection bias, though, bc people who have jobs will be more inclined to respond.

Re: Current Job Status for Law Students (poll)
It'd be nice if there were options for paid/unpaid summer job, at least for 1Ls.

Re: Current Job Status for Law Students (poll)
I thought about adding paid/unpaid but that would make the poll a little too complex. If anything I would have done paid/unpaid 2L jobs. 1L doesn't matter.

Re: Current Job Status for Law Students (poll)
The real overarching selection bias is polling the forums. This place is about as far from a nonrandom sample of law students as you can get. But still, if the OP just wants to know if there is a nontrivial amount of people with jobs to make him/herself feel better about going to law school (and I of course would like to know the same), and identifies with the posters as his peers and doesn't care as long as he sees decent numbers and whether or not you can draw a statistically valid conclusion be damned, then yes.

fwiw, the 10/11 of the 2Ls with jerbs are HYS LR folks, and the 1 non is an IPer with a Ph.D. in molecular biology.FalafelWaffle wrote:The real overarching selection bias is polling the forums.

I'm a 2L, I have a job, and I don't go to HYS. I am just curious as to the job status for TLSrs.

My joke at least was that halfway through critiquing the poll I realized that it was something I would have done and psychologically benefit from anyway.Cal4future wrote:I'm a 2L, I have a job, and I don't go to HYS.

Re: Current Job Status for Law Students (poll)
