Depending on what your plans are, the best advice might be to spend the time leading up to your start date focused on your job, and ultimately, your career.
In the alternative, you could contact someone at Cooley??

Thats mean. trying to make plans for soemthing like a bar trip or something is entirely reasonable. maybe contact a first year associate from your school or someone you connected with during recruiting

I would ask the recruiter. However, don't be surprised if they have no idea. Seems like most firms don't set their starting dates til Spring of that year.
Why the hostility? Perfectly reasonable question, and tons of good reasons to want to know the start date. Also, what do you spend your day doing while - as you say - spending "the time leading up to your start date focused on your job?"kellyfrost wrote:What plans are you trying to make this far in advance?parvaticatil wrote:Nope sorry, I mean 1st Year Associate at Cooley the firm.

reading law review relevant to your practice area. Reading local court rules. Browsing practice manuals relevant to your practice area or the rules of evidence. Meal prepping. Making sure your work clothes wardrobe is stocked and ready to go. Some people even make practice drives or train rides from their home to the office at different times of the day or different days to gauge the commute time. Making sure your personal budget and finances are in order (especially a game plan to attack student loans if you have them) ect. You could do a lot to leading up to your start date focused on your job.RaceJudicata wrote:Why the hostility? Perfectly reasonable question, and tons of good reasons to want to know the start date.

A person looking for advice on drinking in the office has, typically, already started their job.SplitMyPants wrote:says the guy asking for advice on how to drink in the officekellyfrost wrote: the best advice might be to spend the time leading up to your start date focused on your job, and ultimately, your career.
Was going to mock this, then got to the part about practice drives/train rides and realized it must be a troll.kellyfrost wrote: Reading law review relevant to your practice area.

like getting drunk in europe so i can even make through my stub year...kellyfrost wrote:You could do a lot to leading up to your start date focused on your job.
I typically practice my commute run when I first start a new job. It is important to become familiar with the route, check out alternate routes, traffic flow, and the overall time it takes to do the commute.Holly Golightly wrote:There is really just no way you could be serious about this.
