Top Law Schools

Anonymous User wrote:I am badly in need of some TLS wisdom here.
I have a job offer will be expired in two days and it is my only offer so far. The firm is a small size boutique but the pay is quiet good (around 150k but billable hours are way lower than big law), however it is really not my top choice and I don't like the location where I have no tie nor interest.
Most of my callbacks are last week and this week, so I am waiting to hear back from 5 call backs and still have two more call backs left to do.
On my offer letter it only gave me 14 days to accept it and also because it is not in NALP so the career center people told me the firm don't need to follow the 28days guideline .
I already told firms I interviewed last and this week the deadline of my current offer. I haven't tried to ask the firm to give me an extension, since I don't know how and also am not sure if it would work.
Any advice at this point is welcome, thanks a lot!

I don't know what is the best way to ask them, since they don't need to follow the 28days rule, and no matter what I am gonna to say to them it will sound like 'hey I am still deciding other firms and obviously you are not my top choice, so can you give me more time to consider, if no one else wants me I will come back.'

Also, your original post is filled with myriad grammatical and spelling errors. No matter which firm you end up working for, please be sure to proofread anything you submit to senior associates, partners, etc...
