If you have "strong background credentials" from HYS, you don't need to build a "strong foundation" in DC. Get a paying firm 1L job if you can. If you can't, do whatever. Then, at the start of your 2L year, since you want to do appellate lit, get a CoA clerkship. With strong grades, shoot for DC Cir. Get a firm job at a firm with a strong appellate lit practice. Done.

You seem a bit high strung. You should try prestige-chasing in NY instead, you'd fit in even more there

3 of Kozinski's clerk's just resigned. You should try replacing them.

LOL you have a pretty strong sense of what "matters" in "our" profession for someone with 1 semester of law school under their belt.

I'm not gonna lie. You write in a very strange and pompous manner.

Comments relating to 1L summer jobs being "all the same" are not helpful. Relationships and signaling are key in our profession...at every stage.
Practice areas of interest include Appellate Lit, Transnational M&A, or perhaps Political Law (less-likely). I realize these will generate different lists.
The information you provide will be useful, as Vault is centered around NYC firms. Their rankings are not a good proxy for the D.C. market and relative value of work in D.C. satellite offices of NY firms. Traditional assessments and common wisdom related to D.C. firms does not account for policies against 1L hiring. E.X. Williams and Connelley & Covington do not accept 1Ls in their DC offices. They would be obvious choices otherwise.
Current candidates include the D.C. office of Sullivan and Cromwell, Hogan Lovells, and Perkins Coie (Political Law), among others.
Detailed responses please. This actually matters for those of us interested in building a strong foundation in a particular market.

If your interviewing skills are anywhere close to how you come across via writing, you’re doomed.

Folks from Hogan, Sull Chrom and Perkins Coie should be on the look out for an application from a Yalie with a two-page resume.

Unfortunately, based on my interactions with classmates, I have to agree that this op screams HLS.jd20132013 wrote:this sounds more like Harvard to me
