 1. The question often raised - whether it is a good idea to work at a firm temporarily after law school to get legal training, presumes that firms offer good training. How accurate is this notion? How does the training one receives at a large firm compare to that in other employment opportunities?

2. What does a recent law school graduate, with the limited skills gained during three years in a classroom setting, actually do on a day to day basis at a large firm?

Line: 45 to 46
 3(a). If we are interested in a certain area such as international human rights law, will going straight to working with a human rights organization cut us off from getting more thorough legal training?

 1. How can we best take advantage of being in law school - ie what classes/activities - to work on our writing skills?

2. As we have often discussed, the practice of law is quickly changing in terms of becoming more international, outsourcing, etc. How can we best prepare in law school for the changing nature of the practice of law?

  • I think that this question is important. We should ask the reciprocal question as well: what would be the best curriculum or teaching method to prepare us for the changing nature of the practice of law?
  • We should also ask what the administration has done/is doing to evaluate the current system. -- JustinColannino - 18 Apr 2008

 1. How can I best identify and partner with individuals who share my aspirations, politics, and worth ethic in order to build a community of young progressive lawyers?

  • There are some satellite questions here that I would like to ask. Is law school currently a good place to learn how to build this type of community? Should it be? Should there be more clinical options that build these types of communites at the school with the hope that they will last after graduation? -- JustinColannino - 18 Apr 2008
 2. What are the details of the new LRAP policy? (I can just look this up)

3. Is the document-heavy, detail-specific, drudgery of civil litigation too debilitating for me to actually enjoy it?
