What types of skills should we be developing heading that will be important in the future that could allow us to contract our time, rather than our minds to firms?
If one wants to go into academia, is having a Ph.D. in a social science a benefit, or a detriment? (the extra 5-7 years in school aside)
If an individual is working at a big firm, what types of experiences or practice areas should he or she be seeking out to get real training?
What firms are known for providing training and allowing associates some control over their work?
If not going into biglaw, what should a person do, practically speaking, to pay back their loans following law school?

< | After Law School | >
> | After Law School | | | 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? | | | 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? | |
<
< | Law School | >
> | Law School | | | 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
| | | -- CarinaWallance - 16 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? |

How about we just limit this thread to questions? | | | 2. Aside from big law firms, what alternatives are there that would allow me to get the training, connections, and resources to build myself an international practice (in terms of corporate)?

If law school teaches us nothing about being a lawyer, then what exactly are we supposed to get out of law school?
Which courses or extracurricular activities (journals, clinic, student groups?) should we partake in to get the most out of the law school experience?
How do I set up my own niche practice if I don't have another set of special skills (computer programing, for example, like Eben)?
I would really like to know where all the women in this field do end up. Do they leave to raise families? Simply can't "hang with the boys" in the office?

1. How true is the notion of "bamboo ceiling" for Asian Americans (especially 1.5 generation immigrants) in big firms?
2. Aside from big law firms, what alternatives are there that would allow me to get the training, connections, and resources to build myself an international practice (in terms of corporate)?
