Top Law Schools

I will be starting as a third year lateral in Chicago in January. Any tips on succeeding as a lateral from a secondary market; young(ish) professional groups to join; indispensable "surviving Chicago" resources; etc? Will be buying a house on the Blue Line and working in the loop if that matters.

Credited.

The front car of the L is usually the least crowded.
There are a lot of shootings but they are very contained in terms of where they occur.

Sometimes its worth it to skip a train and wait for the next one, especially if its a minute behind. Pro tip.

Sorry to hijack, but I'd love to hear about your lateral process. Would also like to hear from people lateraling from NYC. Thanks, good luck!

Damnit, are these everywhere? I'll be moving to Chi in the fall, and was thinking maybe it wouldn't be bougie enough.

Everywhere. And those that wear them just look warmer. The fiancé swears by hers.

I def believe it.

Work like a dog for two years. Answer a headhunter call on a bad day. Update a resume from 3L. Say 'yea' or 'nay' to sending resumes to interested firms. Screen. Call back. Offer. House hunt. Accept. Panic.

I am in a position similar to OP and would like to know more about succeeding and Chicago in general. Coming from a secondary market and can't decide if its "worth" it.
