I’m hopeful I can find a legal job during the break to earn extra money and gain experience. If you’re looking as well, my recommendation is not to limit yourself to online searches. My feeling is too many students rely on the Internet and only the Internet. I suggest reading the newspaper (even though it may be online – it’s easier to scan through) and actually calling law firms or practitioners and inquiring about openings. You know, you could even email them if you’re adverse to calling. Email doesn’t give you the same connection as voice to voice communication, but it is a connection nonetheless.
If you talk to lawyers, you’ll find they’re generally a nice group and can definitely empathize with the process. They may not have a place for you, but the worse that can happen is they tell you no.
I will send in applications from the school job bank, but I’ll also be seeking employment this way. Of course, I’ll let you in on this progress.
