Writing sample from law school?
A firm I am applying for is asking for a writing sample, the legal work I've done in the past isn't relevant to the firm. Is it okay to use a writing sample from law school, even if its three years ago? It's a 40 page appellate brief, hoping it isn't overkill/too old.

Are you serious?
Why would they want to read law a school brief if you have years of actual experience and examples of real work product.
Provided that you are able to ethically provide or edit/censure a writing sample of recent work product, you should go with that.
