< | 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 | >
> | There was some talk about beginning to organize and classify these questions in the coming days. Why don't we leave this page open with the raw questions for people to add to while we talk about, organize and classify on TalkAboutQuestionsThatNeedAnswers.

< | 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
Before we begin to organize this discussion and decide which boxes questions will go into, shouldn't we be sure that everyone has asked a question? If we organize this page into topics and subtopics it is possible that we may discourage people from asking questions that do not 'fit' into one of the topics. If people want to start organizing the ideas on this page right away, which I agree we should for the pressing questions Adam mentioned, perhaps it is best done on a different page until we are sure that everyone has had their crack at questions. Jesse, I removed your categories for this reason.

I think that makes a lot of sense, Justin, but I am pretty sure that we can have it both ways. I will make sure to leave this page up, but I don't think that should keep us from moving forward. Organizing these questions well will likely make future contributions easier because (1) folks won't have to read the whole list to make sure they are not repeating a question, (2) by going right to the category page to which their question pertains, they will be able to get a sense of (a) what answers are already out there and (b) our current thinking on the general issue, and (3) the goal here is dialogue, collaboration, and problem solving. If we wait for ever to get all the questions on the table, it will be too late to answer some of them effectively. So, I think the solution is to organize in a way that doesn't discourage future participation (leaving this page up - or a misc. category page - for new questions would be a good start) and is as inclusive as possible. I imagine once the organization process begins it will take on a life of its own and quickly become user friendly (assuming people keep doing exactly what you are doing and pointing out potential pitfalls before we sink into them). -- AdamCarlis - 10 May 2008 | | |

Is it fundamentally different than working for a firm, or is there a spectrum of more firm-like to less firm-like government jobs? If government and private practice are so different, why is there a revolving door between the two?

What transferable skills enable lawyers to move successfully between different practice areas and different practice settings?
What areas of the law are rapidly developing or appear poised to rapidly expand? Where can lawyers of our generation make their mark and find new niches within a fairly crowded industry?
