There is close to a 0% chance you'll get a job if you tell people you're leaving in the fall, and a good chance you'll burn bridges if you get the job without telling them and then bail that quickly.

Sourcing: currently interviewing and hiring paralegals

The Sealocaust must be hiring for a weird firm.

My firm loves to hire paralegals that are going to law school, especially good ones. It's a great way to get on the ground floor with a potential legal recruit years down the line.

Definitely put it on your resume.

Including ones who will be starting law school in ~8 months?

Especially. We can give them 1L SA's and get them ready to do real work.

Edit: never mind; prior advice stands

I mean you can try, but a lot of places will be looking for a commitment (something like 2 years). I'd mention it, as there is no sense in hiding your law school plans and risking burning bridges over a few months you might otherwise spend as a paralegal.

I restate:

Sigh.

Has DF just gone full troll all across the boards?

Its still funny, but after a while, Im afraid someone so well respected for typically relevant advice will mislead a lot of people

I'm pretty sure I once got a guy to shave his head so he wouldn't fail a drug test.

Don't be that asshole that starts as a paralegal in June and leaves in August. You won't even know how to do your job properly by then and you'll be screwing over your entire dept.

This.
