Litigation interview - Resume screams transactional
Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2014 12:31 am
Hi all. I have an interview for a law clerk position for the fall (and possibly beyond) at a reputable civil litigation firm in my market. Problem is, every legal internship I have done has been transactional (in-house, transactional division at local gov. agency, etc.). No litigation experience whatsoever, besides LRW class. No clue how I landed this interview.
Obviously, transactional is my goal after law school, but ITE I'll take whatever I can get. Any thoughts on how I can spin my experience into something the firm will find attractive/valuable for their civil litigation practice? Thanks.
