I am a 3l, I really deeply want to work for a high-stakes Plaintiff's lit firm. Lieff, Hagens, etc.
I am at T-16 (?).. In Undergrad I was Summa Cum Laude at a prestigious college. But in Law school I was living at home and didn't keep my grades up. Tbh I really needed a break (went straight through). I decided to devote all my energy in personal injury jobs, which meant I neglected grades and journals or judicial externships. I focused all my time on networking. So that said, I did get 2 'high-level' personal injury firm clerkships (they are some of the highest earning attorneys I've ever met), but I then recently felt like there is so much more cool stuff you can do as a plaintiffs attorney. I would love to work in the firms like those I mentioned doing important work for society. What should I do?
