Do district Court externships drug test? What about big law? piss is ok, hair would be a problem. Any anecdotal experiences would be appreciated.

If you are worried about passing a drug test to work in a District Court you need to re-evaluate your decisions and life. Are you really cut out for this line of work? Has the foreshadowing begun for a downward spiral of criminal convictions, ethics violations, and client trust account violations at such an early point in your career?

Anon is to be used only when you're actually revealing personal information/sensitive employment related information, and it's not to be used to rude to others. If you're not willing to criticize someone for their drug use under your userhandle, you probably shouldn't bother.)

you aren't going to get drug tested

OP here. Not looking for life judgments. Took a few adderall to study for exams... no weed, heavy drugs, etc. Cast judgment, fine, but don't act like i'm some sort of outlier/the only person with this concern. Hence why worried about hair. Probably just being neurotic.

Well, I think Adderall is a heavier drug than weed. It's an amphetamine. It will appear on a timely urine drop or on a seven panel hair stat.

That being said, you are very unlikely to be tested for any legal internship. Hell, I wasn't even tested by the DOJ.
