He has made it to finals at our Moot Court Competition, and has won a bunch of other stuff. If I need an explanation of something, I go to him. He is really smart and skilled. But his grades aren't very good and he had a difficult time getting an internship. Which is really crazy, because I think he is going to kick ass as an attorney.<BR/><BR/>I guess it just goes to show that you have to look at the entire person, and not just the grades.Mary Lewis-Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634165993661128373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-45932843052547615702009-04-03T11:30:00.000-07:002009-04-03T11:30:00.000-07:00Congrats!!!

I had two offers from big law firms going into my third year, and I robbed myself of that excitement because I was so worried about what others would think/feel.<BR/><BR/>To comment on this: "I still can't decide if law firms like confidence that is borderline arrogance or if they prefer people willing to be trained."....I think this truly varies from one partner/senior associate to another. After working with someone a few times you'll get a feel for this.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!!!FSDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589454118258995448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-28539368766994792982009-04-02T11:34:00.000-07:002009-04-02T11:34:00.000-07:00Way to go!

That is fantastic, and I love that you sent the email and that you obviously left a very good impression so that they immediately thought "Yeah, let's see if we can make this happen" instead of "What is SHE smokin'? We'd never want her back here!" <BR/><BR/>(...btw, you're post about The Smell has a sister now at gudnuff. If I could edit posts from my phone I'd reference your post and call mine "When Bad Smells Attack!"...thanks for posting yours...makes my uh-oh slightly less horrible, but doesn't lessen my culpability. At least you have good reason for your smelly day...just a hazard of the mommy job.)gudnuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404362959136843111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-12577780885848249322009-04-02T08:23:00.000-07:002009-04-02T08:23:00.000-07:00Congrats!!

There are days that I may not love everything I do, but I know that I Can do it and that goes a very long way in feeling satisfied throughout the day.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-78728209418332912172009-04-01T18:27:00.000-07:002009-04-01T18:27:00.000-07:00Congratulations on the summer job!!Congratulations on the summer job!!CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559451322234777335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-70663375412644649152009-04-01T12:02:00.000-07:002009-04-01T12:02:00.000-07:00Congratulations!

It's hard to know what to say about having a job when your friends don't, especially in such a shitty economy... but you shouldn't feel bad about getting an offer. You clearly did something right to earn it and you should be proud of that. :)LEOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081911312259246237noreply@blogger.com
