Check NALP dood. I know Alston has a legit IP group there, and I imagine other shops have satellite offices with similar groups.

I am a NC native at a T10 with what would pretty widely be considered a "patent-perfect" resume and I was shut out completely. I know others that were as well with even better qualifications.

-it seems like there might be opportunities years down the road once you get trained elsewhere. firms doing patent lit in NC are hiring single digits if any at all straight out of school.
