An Invisible Man's Blog

Welcome to 2L September 2, 2010

The thing with a blogging (blawing?) about law school, is no one cares much about what 2Ls and 3Ls actually do.

When we talk about people’s experience in lawl law school we tend to hear about the first year, and how that leads to a person getting on law review.  How often do we hear what it is exactly people do on law review?

Really, outside of the 1L year, the last thing people seem to care about is the disingenous nature of OCI.  ”Oh my god, I’ve always wanted to do corporate law, that’s why I worked at Legal Aid for 3 years, and spent my summer working at the ACLU!”  But let’s be honest, they don’t care.  The partners need to hire associates, because they turn a profit off of us, and in the process we learn how to practice (corporate) law.

I’m struggling to think of what to write about.  I was hesitant to talk about my summer, mostly because I didn’t want to embarrass my employer.

So now it’s between talking about my clinic, my journal, my student organization, making observations about 1L behavior from the other side, talking about NYU and actually getting to see more of NYC.

So stay tuned.  I’ll be more awake later, and provide you with wonderful insights in the coming months.
