We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
I hope you're not the same clown who says this same shit ad nauseam in every thread that discusses corporate law firms.
You need to realise acting like a troll on LI is not making the case for litigators doing "real work" - you only look like a midwit.
Regardless, I'm not sure how an LLM would help my case? I already have a very good law school background. Don't think law firms would start accepting job applications just because they'd see an LLM in my profile.
- Cold email law firm partners.
- Ask alums for help.
- Ask for assessment internships in case their firm isn't currently hiring.
None of the above has worked out for me. My profile is admittedly not stellar but I do have publications, some editorial experience, moot awards, a good college background and so on.
I'm at my wit's end.
