Does that poster even respond to the criticisms of their advice? I guess it's still a problem if we have to step in to tell OP that we think the advice is bad. There are just a whole lot of things that is wrong with going to Emory here. It's the employment opportunities combined with the very limit...

Accepting an Emory full-ride is obviously a no-brainer. Should the full-ride falls through ― accept the best T13 deal offered that guides you to your target markets ― it’s good that you’re amenable to DC/NYC (not everyone is). As far as how much more a T13 is worth obviously depends on numerous vari...

Toni should I transfer to H

If you are accepted....sure!

At my firm, there are only associates and partners. I think this is firm-specific and also utterly meaningless. It’s not meaningless where it means something. At my firm there were special trainings and seminars that went with reaching mid-level or senior, and a change in expectations of case manag...

One thing about BL is that you will likely reside in a high-cost area with an extreme tax liability (living like a monk is a given). It takes a few years before you can cash-in on the hefty bonuses. That said, having a degree from Harvard is a lifelong advantage.

If you have any kind of a significant scholarship it’s likely you may have to pay a chargeback if you transfer. i.e., if the school paid for your first year and a percentage of years two and three, a transfer could be costly. Just sayin’... read the fine print.

I interviewed twice. Both times everyone I met with was a good 10 years older than me. So, it’s a bit of a Hail Mary. I should add that both companies had revs exceeding 100B. My takeaway, L&T is essential.

Bonus was up this year, but so were my hours. This is the one time of the year I wish I was working in NYC/DC.

so TLS doesn't require moderator approval on every post anymore? TLS is pretty much back to normal. Their mods are low key — gone are the days of mods threating to ban posters they disagree with. They are focused on LS students with little to no activity in their lounge. Also gone are the significa...

I just got my score back on the November test and I bumped up to a 169! So yeah, I hope that I can have that world of a difference in my options now. According to MyLSN, I have a solid shot at the bottom half of T14 and an outside shot at the top half. Is that probably accurate? Your estimate is so...

Why not a UP option? Given that year’s workload has been overwhelming....

A good friend was in a position much like yours. She is lily white and could not read or write Spanish but could speak and understand Spanish a little (mainly because she took a Spanish class). She had a great GPA and a fairly good LSAT. She was accepted into an Ivy with a 50% discount. So yes, go f...

Majored in Finance in UG which heavily influenced my decision to go the transactional route. The only types of litigation I enjoyed were appellate (which I, admittedly, wasn't disciplined enough to pursue) and Securities Lit. Being in-house, I welcome automation. There's so much I do in my role tha...

Anyone who has a transactional practice is kidding themselves if they don't believe a significant portion of their contract drafting and negotiating practice can't/won't be automated within the next 5-10 years. Not disagreeing that in the future some form of automation may impact the legal professi...

Do people think automation is going to have a big impact, or no?

At the firm, this topic rarely (if ever) comes up.

I'm in litigation, but I do occasionally get the opportunity to do some transactional work, which I do enjoy to a certain extent. It certainly helps get a better perspective on my litigation matters, and hopefully it gives me an edge when I go in house . I was advised that transactional is more adv...

Any comments from the transactional POV....

POLL. Why you chose the one you did. Has anyone here switched from one to the other?

In my one and only in-house encounter for a position, getting barred in the home office state was expected. I assume it is necessary everywhere.
