Looking like I've officially struck out at OCI. How do I find respected lit boutiques to apply to?

I'd imagine all your standard chambers sources and stuff like that. Also work with your career services people. I'm sure they can help out.

JW is it standard to not mass mail boutiques until you're in a situation like his? I guess in other words, do they tend to have different timelines/hire in a way that allows them to be backup plans?

Good luck OP

OP here: didn't mean to make it sound like that--I just put all of my eggs in the OCI basket, and now I'm looking for other non-shitlaw options.

I wouldn't think so, to be honest. I feel like it's something that should be done from the get-go but gets overlooked on account of overoptimism and the delayed realization that random luck is probably the single biggest factor in how OCI works out.
