Hello!
Could anyone give a jobless 2L some advice on which firms might be hiring for summer positions from now to the end of the school year? Thanks!

Re: Firms Hiring
No major law firms have postings for the summer anymore - just mass mail every single firm you can think of and hope for the best. I don't know anything about your credentials/market but try networking and talking to career services. Since it is almost impossible at this point for BigLaw, I would spend most my efforts on smaller firms (by mass mailing).

Re: Firms Hiring
Try the Federal Gov. Some agencies with might still be hiring. If you're lucky, you can find a Fed summer gig that doles out full-time offers to its summer interns. Stalk USA jobs.
You should also apply to any relevant big-city DA's offices if it will likely lead to a post-graduate offer.
Finally, don't waste too much time on mass mailing. The big/mid law ship has sailed.
Good luck!
