I asked about LA biglaw on here a while back and everyone there was very insistent that I must do my 1L summer in LA if I want a 2L SA there. The problem is that my school is across the country and I would really rather not pay rent in LA for three months if it's avoidable.
I'm from a town in the northern part of SoCal (like Ventura/SB/SLO counties area) and went to UCLA for undergrad. I'm at a T14 that doesn't send many students to LA, but I feel like my background demonstrates that it's the natural place for me to go after law school.
Does anybody with experience in the LA market have any insight? I could probably get an internship around my hometown with a PD/DA office or with a superior court judge. I'd really love to live at home and spend time with family for a few months if possible, but I don't know whether it'll be problematic that I can't make coffee appointments or whatever with LA associates regularly.
Will 1L summer elsewhere in California show sufficient interest for LA biglaw the next summer Forum

I'm not from California, but would assume that this would be fine. Your connections seem sufficient.
I think you wouldn't have trouble convincing them of your ties and hopes to stay. Just make sure to do 2L SA or 2L summer work there.
