Most important question: are any of these positions paid, or if not can you get a public service grant for any of them? I'd just follow the money. Any one of these will look just fine going into OCI.

Re: Advice deciding b/w 1L offers
Sorry, should have put that in their before. All are unpaid, and I can receive a stipend from the school for any (all in the same amount). Hence, the struggle. If all really look equal on paper, what would YOU do? Haha I think its just really hard for me to buy into the fact that it really doesn't matter at OCI, especially when the agencies have seemed much more competitive, but maybe I just need to accept that reality.dixon02 wrote:Most important question: are any of these positions paid, or if not can you get a public service grant for any of them?

i'd probably take options 2 or 3, but that's just me.
i liked working for the govt. as a 1L.
since they are all unpaid, just go with which one you like the most. i don't think one will give you a marked boost over the other on your resume.

I'd take 3, unless you have a burning desire to learn about the other two areas of law. You are most likely to see work similar to a firm at the OGC's office.
