3L
T30
taking CA bar and want to work in California
Bottom 10 percent with a B- average
No debt and no offers so far...don't mind working a 30-40k job coming out...but want a job with upward mobility obviously after 5 years..etc
Want to work in private practice and do crim defense, torts, real estate law, trusts wills, entertainment and sports, family law
1. Should I just focus on passing the bar and finding employment now? Forget about school because I don't think I can really salvage my grades at this point?
2. Any advice on how to study for CA bar starting now? Not a good test taker and didn't do so well in law school, so trying to see what I can do now before Barbri course starts in May.
3. I have a few connections, but should I tap into these connections now? I want to start working after bar finishes around mid august. That's a long ways away. Should I contact them now or wait a bit longer when it gets closer to august? Any advice on how to deal with connections(some are attorneys and some know attorneys)..at this point trying to just do small/shit law.
