To me, RA screams no one would hire me, so my school took pity on me to prevent me from dropping out. However untrue that may actually be.

Re: Decide my 1L Summer Poll
Hiring partner at a V50 told me he despises RA positions because there's little that's genuinely interesting about them, no matter how esteemed the professor or interesting the subject matter.

Re: Decide my 1L Summer Poll
I was kinda hoping by combining the RA with a small firm would help address this. RA is also paid $10 an hour.Anonymous User wrote:Hiring partner at a V50 told me he despises RA positions because there's little that's genuinely interesting about them, no matter how esteemed the professor or interesting the subject matter.

Re: Decide my 1L Summer Poll
Your choice turns on two questions:
(1) What is your target market?
If you're targeting, say Birmingham or Oklahoma City or another small, secondary/tertiary market, then I would hesitate to take a position somewhere else. If you're targeting NYC or DC or another large market, then this isn't really a concern.
(2) What do you want to do with your career?
If you're interested in criminal law, then go with that. If you're interested in private practice or non-criminal government work, then I would say go with the judicial internship.
