advice for 1L summer
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 5:10 pm
I know I am late to the game, but I was wondering if you guys had any advice on where I should be directing my summer job search.
My stats: T1 school in a major city that I would very happy to stay in, 4.1 law school GPA (I don't know my ranking, but I imagine this is one of the top gpas at the school), ivy undergrad if that helps. Was really not expecting to get such high grades, which is why my job search has been a bit disorganized thus far, with only a few cover letters to local firms sent out and applying to a few things through school.
The end goal is Biglaw, so I am pretty much open to anything that will further that interest, whether its judicial externships, summer firm positions, etc. (And I know I missed some major deadlines already, blame me for going partially catatonic over break).
Would appreciate any insight or feedback!
