On Wednesday I am going to take a crack at organizing these questions into topics, subtopics, and talk pages. If anyone would like to collaborate (in person) in that process, please send me an email (arc2129@columbia.edu) and we can figure out a time and place. Hopefully, once this list is a bit more manageable, we can all collaborate on getting some answers - particularly to those pressing questions about registering for classes, the writing competition, and using the summer effectively. -- AdamCarlis 08 May 2008

If I pass on the things you're "supposed" to do in law school (take corporations and evidence, be on a journal) and instead make the experience one I'll enjoy and care about, what will the consequences be?

It would be productive to first construct categories into which we can sort out the topics and subtopics. I guess I will start, but please add on because I cannot be as complete and thorough as possible right now. -- JesseCreed - 10 May 2008

1. Professional Goals and Skills a. Short-term goals b. Long-term goals c. Productivity Skills

2. Academic Goals and Skills a. Courses b. Journals

 

How about we just limit this thread to questions?

What is the best way to identify people I may want to start my own firm or organization with? How can I maintain those relationships once I have found them until I graduate?

As for graduating with clients - are there really that many specialties that we can jump into with little or no experience?

What are good ways of finding niches that need filling in the legal world?

 How about we just limit this thread to questions?

1. I’m assuming that the skills we’ve acquired in law school are on their own not enough for us to earn a livelihood. We have to learn to apply these skills so as to perform a service for which we’ll get paid. If so, why not use the firm as a paid residency? Medical students have to pull 36 hour shifts without getting paid; why can’t we get our ‘hands on’ training from the firm and earn 160k in the process?

 If we do know what we want to do, but the path seems daunting or unclear, who can we talk to that will help us pave a reasonable career plan to achieve those goals? Where can we find counselors who are not just worried about the employment rate at graduation?

What is the best way in law school to gain the skills necessary for working efficiently in groups? A lawyer is someone who knows how to solve a legal problem, but doesn't a better lawyer work with his peers to solve the legal problem?

Is taking advantage of the opportunity to take business school classes a good start?

What do you look for in your collaborators to avoid the free riders?
