Business References
Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2012 8:32 pm
Filling out an attorney profile for a firm (I'm a current 2L).
One section asks for prior work history, including supervisors and if they can be used as references. The section right before that asks for "business references". I'm guessing it shouldn't be the same people, but I'm not sure who else business references would be. I thought they were clients, or people you do business with. Can I leave this blank since I don't have any of those yet and assume that section is geared toward more experienced attorneys who fill out the same form? Am I overthinking this?
