Looks like journal offers are going to start coming out today, per Cliff. Earlier than I expected.

Does this also mean that we won't get the list of classes (for non-1L's) for fall semester until right before school starts?

That's what I've heard. The ppt said early July, but a 3L told me it's more like the last week.

Only for NULR though, right? Any idea about the other journals?

Pretty sure we all got the same email. My guess is it will "extend over several weeks"

Not earlier than expected if you'd read my post ITT.

Oops, yeah, I just saw that e-mail. I hope this is done sooner rather than later.

If they start calling before 5pm I will never believe a thing you say again!

Pretty sure the people making the calls have jobs...

I thought LR was a jobless suckhole, no?

1L: Cliff cares a lot and doesn't want to stress you out or hurt your fee fees
Post-1L: "Hey, I'll send this stressful email at 7:30 a.m. and make one word in blue for fun."

Can anyone shed some light on the Bluhm Legal Clinic? From my research of clinicals in the T14, it seems super super impressive in comparison to its counterparts.

1L:Cliff cares a lot and doesn't want to stress you out or hurt your fee fees Pretends to actually care and wants to be your friend.
Post-1L:"Hey, I'll send this stressful email at 7:30 a.m. and make one word in blue for fun." Comes clean he really doesn't care

Honestly, today and the next several weeks are going to suck. Every time my phone has rung today I get that stressed out pit in my stomach feeling, thinking "Ooh, is this it, did they pick me?" It feel like I'm in high school waiting for the girl I asked out to call me back.

Spoiler: she never calls. Slut.


I might be projecting from my own experiences

Fucking bitch, I knew it. I feel like this is going to be the same way, I'll just keep staring at the phone, waiting for a call that will never come. Forever Alone.

You've got me friend. I stayed up all night working for that girl, too and yet, I always knew this is how it would end up, w/me having to settle for her homely friend who only wants to talk about social policy or human rights.

i bet she at least gives handies.

[Blumpbeef]

is the prestige of being on a secondary journal worth the work you put into it? Secondary journals are just as big a time commitment as LR, right?

What's the point when you can do them better yourself? But hey, at least she's happy to be there.

Depends on the secondary.

From what I can see on symplicity most firms want you to have some journal experience, though once your past law review I think they all look the same. I was advised that if I made LR to take it and then as my second choice put something I was interested in that was the least amount of work, so I asked around.

You need to have some extra-curricular. A journal isn't necessary. I went without it, as did one other person I know, and we did fine.

Well yes, and had I made trial team I doubt I would be as concerned. IT WAS A FIX!

Depends on the secondary.

Can you be more specific? Or can you PM me?
